First, heat a splash of oil in a medium-large pot over medium heat. Add some chopped shallots, garlic, and jalapeño, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Don’t worry if you’re not a fan of spicy food, you can always adjust the level of heat to your liking.
Next, add some chili powder and stir it in. Then, add in those delicious black beans and some low-sodium vegetable stock. Simmer on low heat for about 20 minutes, or until the soup has thickened up nicely.

Now it’s time to blend the soup until it’s smooth and creamy. If it’s too thick, you can always add a bit more water or stock. And if you’re feeling extra fancy, you can add a squeeze of lime juice and a sprinkle of cumin.
This soup is perfect for a weeknight dinner, and it’s even better with some tasty toppings. Try adding some diced red onion, jalapeño slices, avocado, cilantro, or a dollop of sun cheese (recipe below).

For the sun cheese, simply blend together some hulled sunflower seeds, garlic, umeboshi vinegar, lemon juice, and water. It’s creamy, tangy, and utterly delicious.
