Instructions
PREP
- Chop the ends off your onion, slice it in half and peel off the papery layers.
- Crush, peel and dice your garlic.
- If you have fresh corn, slice the kernels off the cob; if you have frozen or canned corn, strain and rinse.
- Purée chipotle peppers in adobo sauce in a mini food processor, with a submersion blender, or by chopping as finely as you can. You won’t need all of it, but it keeps for a long time in a sealed jar in the fridge!
COOK
- If you’re using bouillon cubes, boil a kettle of water.
- Burn the onion halves cut side down directly on your element or burner until nicely browned. Allow them to cool and then dice.
- Pan-fry onions and garlic in a good splash of oil, in a deep pot on medium heat.
- When your onions soften, add the black beans and diced tomatoes including the liquids.
- Add corn.
- Add cans of broth or bouillon cubes and hot water.
- Add chipotle purée, Worcestershire sauce and Bragg’s to your taste.
SERVE
- Break some tortilla chips in a bowl and pour your soup over top.
- Add a dollop of yogurt; crumbled feta or grated cheddar; sliced avocado and chopped cilantro or green onions to your liking.
- Serve with a squeeze of lime! (Lime juice can become unpleasantly bitter if it is cooked for too long, it’s best to add it just before serving!). ENJOY!
