Ingredients

  

• 2 15 oz cans black beans
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 carrot, sliced
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup coconut water
• 2 cups coconut milk
• 1 cup coconut cream
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tbsp ground chili peppers
• 1 tbsp tomato paste
• 1 tsp ground ginger
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1/4 tsp hot paprika (or to taste)
• 2 slices smoked vegan cheese, chopped
• 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
• Juice of 1 lime
• 2 avocados, sliced for serving
• 2 cups cherry tomatoes, quartered or halved, for serving
• 4 fresh cilantro sprigs for serving
• Salt to taste

Instructions

 

• Prepare the ingredients.
  
• Prep the Veggies:

  Start by chopping the onion, red bell pepper, and carrot. Mince the garlic.

  Sauté the Aromatics:

  In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, carrot, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
  
• Add Spices and Base:

  Stir in the ground chili peppers, ginger, cumin, and hot paprika. (Adjust the amounts to your taste.) Cook for another 2 minutes to allow the spices to bloom.
  
• Add the chopped smoked vegan cheese, lime juice, tomato paste, vegetable broth, coconut water, and coconut milk. Stir well to combine.

  Simmer the Soup:

  Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

  Add Beans and Coconut Cream:

  Stir in the black beans and coconut cream. Continue to cook for 5 minutes to heat the beans through and incorporate the coconut cream.
• Serve the Soup:

  Ladle the soup into bowls. Serve with sliced avocado and quartered or halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh cilantro sprigs on the side for a fresh and vibrant touch. (You can also garnish with toasted coconut, and lime slices.)
  

Notes

TIPS:

• Use fresh and organic ingredients whenever possible to enhance the flavors and nutritional value.
• Adjust the level of spices to suit your heat tolerance. Add more hot paprika or ground chili peppers if you prefer a spicier kick.
• This soup pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a light green salad.
To toast coconut on the stove, place your coconut in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Stir the coconut frequently as it cooks.
Once the coconut is evenly golden to your liking, move it to a bowl to cool and stop the cooking process.
Enjoy this Coconut Black Bean Soup, a delightful blend of creamy coconut, hearty beans, and vibrant spices that will warm your soul and tantalize your taste buds!
