How to Make Home Canned Or Stove Top Black Bean Soup
- Rinse 1 pound (16 ounces) of dried black beans and soak them in water for at least 8 hours or overnight.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, combine the soaked black beans, 8 cups of water, 1 large onion (chopped), 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon cumin, 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional), and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for at least 1 hour, or until the beans are tender. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- If desired, use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup for a creamier texture, or use a regular blender (in batches, carefully!).
- Stir in 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped cilantro, and 1/4 cup lime juice.
- Simmer for an additional 15 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or spices to your preference.
- Serve hot, garnished with extra cilantro, a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and avocado slices (optional).
- **For Home Canning:** Follow the same steps above but carefully ladle the hot soup (before adding cilantro and lime juice) into sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Process in a boiling water bath according to your canning instructions and jar size. Always consult a reputable canning guide for safe preservation techniques. Add cilantro and lime juice after opening the canned soup.
