Black Bean Soup Recipe

This Black Bean Soup is a fiber-rich, plant-based powerhouse that provides incredible satiety and heart-health benefits. In this Indian adaptation, the "earthy" flavor of black beans is enhanced with a warm tadka (tempering) of cumin, garlic, and green chilies, creating a deeper flavor profile than the standard version. Black beans are exceptional sources of anthocyanins (antioxidants found in dark skins) and resistant starch, which helps regulate blood sugar. It is a thick, creamy, and comforting "one-pot" meal that acts as a perfect vegetarian substitute for a meat-based stew.

What Ingredients do I Need for Black Bean Soup?

  • 1 cup Black beans ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 handful Onion, Small ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 handful Tomato, Ripe, Local ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Garlic paste ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Ginger paste ( fresh ) - default
  • 1 tsp Soyabean Oil ( fresh ) - default

Instructions: How to Make Black Bean Soup

  • Pressure Cook the Beans
    Place the soaked black beans in a pressure cooker with water and salt. Cook for 6–8 whistles until they are very soft and can be easily mashed with a finger.
  • Sautee vegetables
    Heat oil/ghee in a separate pan. Add cumin powder, then sauté onions and tomato, ginger-garlic paste until golden brown. Add tomatoes and dry spices (chili, pepper), cooking until the oil starts to separate.
  • Simmer and Mash
    Add the cooked beans (with their liquid) to the masala pan. Use a masher to crush about 30% of the beans directly in the pot to create a thick, creamy base. Simmer for 10 minutes, add lime juice, and garnish.
