Ingredients

  • 6 clove Garlic
  • 3 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 4 raw jalapeno peppers
  • 1 tbsp Salt
  • 2 tsp Oregano
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp, Cumin
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
  • 4 cups Vegetable Stock
  • 2 cups of water
  • 3 cup Dry Black Beans (soaked overnight, rinsed and drained)
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 large, Yellow onion
  • 2 large red bell pepper
  • 2 green bell peppers
  • 2 tablespoons Lime Juice, or to taste
  • 0.25 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 lb Yukon gold potatoes
  • optional: cheese to top, altering nutritional info accordingly.
  1. Chop the bell peppers and the jalapenos (use some gloves for these to avoid burning sensation in your fingers!) . They should be soup sized bits, cubed or slivers depending on preference.
  2. Mince the onion and sauté in the olive oil for 3 minutes. Throw the peppers and jalapenos in with the onion for about 5 minutes. Mince the garlic and throw that in for an additional minute, then add the salt, oregano, cayenne pepper, smoked paprika and tomato paste. Sauté for an additional minute.
  3. Add the vegetable stock, dry black beans (soaked overnight, rinsed and drained), and your 3 bay leaves.
  4. Chop the potatoes into soup sized bits and add those to your pot (I don’t peel these for the nutrients, just wash them well).
  5. Set your instant pot to pressure cook for 33 minutes.
  6. When done, release the pressure. Add the sugar and the lime juice to taste. Serve with a topping of shredded mexican cheese, about ⅓ cup per bowl, if using
