Ingredients:
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 T. oregano
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1-2 tsp. chile powder
  • generous grating of black pepper
  • 1-2 tsp. minced chipotle chiles in adobo sauce
  • 2 15-ounce cans diced tomatoes
  • 4-5 cups vegetable broth or water
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels 
  • lime wedges (optional)

How to prepare:

In a large pot, saute the onions, garlic, and bell pepper until the onions soften, about 3 minutes. Add the beans, seasonings, and tomatoes, and stir to combine. Add 3 cups vegetable broth or water. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for about 1 hour, adding additional water or vegetable broth as needed to keep a soupy consistency. Just before serving, add the corn, if you like, and heat through. Serve in bowls with lime wedges.
