Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 brown onion diced
  • 1/2 carrot diced
  • 1 stalk celery diced
  • 1/2 zucchini diced
  • 1/2 red capsicum deseeded and diced
  • 1.5 garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup black beans canned, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable stock
  • salt & pepper to taste
Ingredients for Serving
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh coriander roughly chopped
  • 1/4 avocado diced

Equipment

  • Medium Saucepan

Method
 

  1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat.
  2. Add in the olive oil, onion, carrot, and celery. Cook for 5 minutes, or until veggies soften. Then add in the zucchini, capsicum, garlic, cumin and paprika and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
  3. Add the tomato paste and stir through the veggies for 1 minute, before adding the black beans, the vegetable stock and salt and pepper (to taste) and stir it all through.
  4. If you'd like to thin out the soup you can add a dash of water to achieve your desired soup consistency.
  5. Bring the soup to the boil, before reducing the heat to a simmer for at least 10 minutes, so the flavours can develop.
  6. When the soup looks ready, plate up by spooning a serve into a bowl and topping each bowl with avocado pieces and fresh coriander.

Notes

If you’re not actively trying to lose weight you might like to serve this soup up with a slice of fresh sourdough and butter.
