Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, sauté onions, garlic, cumin, and coriander in olive oil until onions are soft.
  2. Add beans, vegetable stock or puréed tomatoes, red pepper, parsley, and cilantro.
  3. Simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
  4. Purée soup in blender or use a hand-held blender in the soup pot. (A hand-held blender is the greatest gadget—you will never have to transfer hot soup to a blender again.) If the soup is too thick, add a little more stock.
  5. Add cayenne pepper.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in freshly squeezed lemon juice and essential fatty acid oil.
  7. Serve garnished with chopped green onions, cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream or yogurt.

This soup can be frozen without the garnishes.

Makes 6 servings.
