Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 stalks celery, chopped

  • 1 carrot, chopped

  • ½ yellow onion, chopped

  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, undrained

  • ¾ cup chicken broth

  • ¼ cup orange juice

  • 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

Directions

  1. Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium-high heat. Saute celery, carrot, onion, and garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 5 minutes.

  2. Stir black beans, chicken broth, orange juice, cayenne pepper, and chili powder with the vegetables in the pot; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the carrots are soft, about 15 minutes.

  3. Ladle about half the solids into a blender. Add enough liquid so the solids are completely submerged. Hold lid in place and pulse blender a few times before leaving on to puree. Return pureed mixture to pot and stir.

Cook's Note:

White wine can replace orange juice for a different flavor.

Use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth to make this vegetarian.
