Lunch: Caribbean Black Bean Soup Recipe | MyRecipes

A little of this spicy soup goes a long way, so it's best when served as an appetizer soup. If you want to decrease the heat, seed the jalapeños.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups chopped red onion (1 onion)
1 cup diced green bell pepper
1 cup diced red bell pepper
3 tablespoons finely chopped jalapeño pepper (2 peppers)
1 whole garlic head, peeled and minced
1/4 cup no-salt-added tomato paste
4 cups organic vegetable broth, divided
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1/2 cup coconut milk
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 limes, quartered
