Preparation
Step 1
1) Heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, cumin and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until onion softens.
2) Add bell pepper, garlic, and salt and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring for about 15 minutes, until veggies are very soft.
3) Add the beans and water to the soup and bring to a boil. Lower and simmer gently, partially covered, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
4) Mash or puree until desired consistency.
5) Add 1 tbsp lime juice, and taste to see if it needs the second tbsp. Add fresh pepper and a pinch of red pepper flakes and simmer and stir for another 1-2 minutes.
