Make

  1. Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add oil and then garlic, onion and jalapeno mixture. Saute for ~2 minutes, until slightly softened.
  2. Stir in red wine vinegar, honey, tomato paste, chipotle pepper (if using), coriander, cumin and salt. Saute for another 2 to 3 minutes until the flavors really start to build.
  3. Add tomatoes, all but 1 cup (for 4 servings, adjust accordingly if customizing) of beans and stock to the pot. Bring to a boil and then simmer covered for 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. While soup simmers, chop avocados and toss with lime juice. Warm up corn (if frozen) and dice tomatoes.
  5. Once soup has simmered, blend with an immersion blender or transfer to a blender in batches. If using an immersion blender, we recommend you place the pot into the sink to prevent spattering. Season to taste with more honey, vinegar, spices, or salt.
  6. Divide into bowls and let everyone garnish soup with reserved beans, tomatoes, corn, avocados, green onions and yogurt. Enjoy with chips!
