Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 red bell pepper, diced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1/2 cup quinoa
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh cilantro, for garnish
• Lime wedges, for serving

Directions

1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, minced garlic, diced red bell pepper, and diced carrots. Sauté for 5 minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.
2. Add the drained and rinsed black beans, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, quinoa, tomato paste, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
3. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the quinoa is cooked and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Once the soup is ready, taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. If desired, use an immersion blender to blend a portion of the soup for a creamier texture, or leave it chunky.
5. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the soup.
6. Enjoy this delicious and hearty vegan black bean burger soup!
