Chili-lime black bean soup

This super-flavorful and filling bean soup comes together fast with pantry staples. It's very thick so if you prefer your soup thinner, add additional broth or water. We recommend using an immersion blender for ease, but you could also blend the soup in batches using a blender. To use a blender, carefully fill the blender halfway full. Secure the lid onto the blender, remove the lid’s center piece, and cover the opening with a towel. This will allow steam to escape which will prevent the soup from overflowing during blending and will avert a messy accident. Transfer the blended soup into a large serving bowl and repeat with remaining soup reserved in the pot.
