Ingredients

1 tbsp avocado oil
1 tsp fennel seeds
1/2 cup finely chopped onions
2 tbsp finely chopped or minced garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped red bell pepper
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper powder or as per taste
3 tsp tajin seasoning or as per taste
1 tsp dried oregano
salt as per taste
2 cans (15-ounces each) black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 pack (32-ounces) low-sodium vegetable broth

suggested garnishes

avocadoes
chopped cilantro
tortilla chips

Instructions

Heat oil in a saucepan, stockpot or Dutch oven and add fennel seeds. Once it starts to crackle sauté onion, garlic and red bell pepper in it for 2 minutes over medium-high heat.
Add tomato paste, cumin powder, tajin, cayenne powder, salt and oregano. Sauté it well for 2 minutes over medium heat.
Toss black beans and roughly mix everything with a spatula.
Pour in the vegetable broth and stir. Cook uncovered for 10 minutes over high heat. With the help of an immersion blender roughly blend it in the same pan (do not blend it smooth). Continue cooking the soup at high heat for another 10-15 minutes until it starts to thicken a bit.
Turn it off and adjust the salt and tajin seasoning. Ladle it in your serving bowl and garnish with cilantro, avocado and tortilla chips. Enjoy!

Notes

I used Siete lemon-flavored tortilla chips. You may use any of your choice.
Feel free to adjust spice levels. Sliced jalapeno peppers can also be added if desired.
This tastes best when served immediately but the leftovers can be refrigerated without the garnishes for 5-6 days. Warm it well in the microwave before serving.
