Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced
  • 2-3 celery stalks, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ½ tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 2 cans (14 oz / 400 g) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14 oz / 400 g) diced tomatoes
  • 1 cup (250 g) pumpkin puree
  • 3 cups (750 ml) vegetable stock
  • 1 cup (250 ml) coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons lime juice
  • A handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion, carrot, and celery and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and fresh ginger and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the ground cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, dried thyme, and turmeric; stir well to coat the vegetables with spices. Pour in the black beans, diced tomatoes, pumpkin puree, and vegetable stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes to allow flavors to meld. Use an immersion blender to partially blend the soup for a creamy texture while keeping some bean chunks for bite. Stir in the coconut milk and lime juice, heating through without boiling. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh coriander on top.

Notes

For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped chili. This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat gently before serving.
