ingredients
- 4 -5 large tomatoes
- 1 1 yellow bell peppers or 1 orange bell pepper, seeded and halved
- 3 -5 garlic cloves, peeled
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and halved
- canola oil or olive oil, to taste
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 celery, chopped
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 4 cups chicken stock or 4 cups vegetable stock
- salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- 1 1⁄2 cups cooked black beans (or 14 1/2 oz can, rinsed and drained)
- 1⁄2 half-and-half (optional)
- steamed rice, for serving (optional)
- crumbled feta, for serving (optional)
directions
- Preheat oven to 400. LIne a rimmed baking sheet with tin foil.
- Place the tomatoes, garlic, and jalapeno on the sheet.
- Drizzle with oil and toss to coat the vegetables. Arrange them cut side down in a single layer. Roast for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft and the skin of the peppers is blistered.
- Remove from the oven. When the peppers are cool enough to handle, peel off their skin.
- Meanwhile, in a large soup pot, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat and saute the onion and celery for 5 minutes, until soft. Add the cumin and cook for another minute.
- Scrape the roasted tomatoes and peppers into the pot, including any juices that have collected in the bottom of the pan, and add the stock. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes, until everything is nice and soft.
- Season with salt and pepper and puree with a handheld immersion blender until smooth.
- Stir in the black beans and cream (if using) and heat through. If you like, pile some rice and/or feta in the bottom of each serving bowl before ladling the hot soup overtop.

I love to try new recipes, and this is a wonderful site to find new additions. I rarely make the same thing twice because it's so much fun to try something different. My life long dream is to travel the world and eat my way around it.
