This vegan black bean red pepper soup is protein-packed, comforting, and super flavorful. Its heartiness dances on the border between soup and stew while its toppings nudge it into chili\u00a0territory. I'm still calling it soup, but feel free to identify it as you wish.<\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n

In reviewing blog data, one of the most glaringly obvious facts is that soup recipes are beloved by many of you.<\/p>\n

Whether it's soups of the rich, creamy, and buttery variety like this recipe<\/a> or this recipe<\/a>, broth-based soups like this vegan take on French onion soup<\/a>, or fancier pur\u00e9ed soups like this one<\/a>, all evidence points to wide-ranging appreciation for slurp-able bowl-based meals.<\/p>\n

With your preferences in mind, I'm in the throes of testing a handful of new soup recipes, and this black bean red pepper soup is the first to be released of (hopefully) many more to come.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Vegan black bean soup is a favorite of mine. I love that it's reliably thick and yet creamy, too.<\/p>\n

I most admire thick soups for their ability to support a hefty amount of toppings, and this one does not disappoint.<\/p>\n

Its thickness puts it right between soup and stew, and its colorful toppings hint at a chili. The best of all bowl-based meals under the guise of a humble soup.<\/p>\n

I'm digging it, and I hope you do, too.<\/p>\n

As with most soup recipes, this one is a breeze to make. It requires little more than some chopping, spice gathering\/measuring, can-opening, and simmering.<\/p>\n

To make it, you'll saut\u00e9 a diced onion and chopped jarred roasted red peppers in a bit of olive oil.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Once the onion begins to soften, add several cloves of minced garlic and a tiny heap of spices\/seasonings, including ground cumin, smoked paprika, cayenne, and salt.<\/p>\n

Give everything a good stir and continue to saut\u00e9 until the garlic mellows and the spices aromatically bloom.<\/p>\n

Next, stir in four cans of drained and rinsed black beans along with a quart of vegetable stock.<\/p>\n

Bring the soup to a rolling boil. Then, reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the black beans are super tender.<\/p>\n

Once the black beans are tender, turn off the heat and carefully transfer about three cups of the soup to a high-speed blender. Secure the lid with your hand, using a kitchen towel as a barrier, and blend until smooth.<\/p>\n

Pour the blended soup back into the pot.<\/p>\n

Then, stir in chopped cilantro and a tablespoon or two of lime juice. Taste and add a bit more salt to really make the flavors pop.<\/p>\n

\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Once the soup is ready, ladle it into roomy bowls and top.<\/p>\n

My favorite toppings are as follows:<\/p>\n

Sliced avocado.
\nSliced scallions.
\nCilantro.
\nCrushed tortilla chips.
\nQuartered cherry tomatoes.<\/p>\n

As always, you do you. Top with your favorites (or skip the toppings altogether).<\/p>\n

\"Vegan\"Vegan<\/p>\n

Once you've topped (or not topped), serve the soup and dig in.<\/p>\n

I love serving it alongside a bowl of tortilla chips for dipping, scooping, and dunking.<\/p>\n

There's something so satisfying about the combination of crispy corn chips dunked into this mildly spicy soup. So, so good. Try it!<\/p>\n
