Ingredients
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 medium onion, peeled and cut into small dice
1 large carrot, peeled and cut into small dice
2 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
1 ½ teaspoons curry powder
½ teaspoon ground coriander
1 cup black beans, soaked overnight and drained
10 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 ½ teaspoons salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
Preparation
- Step 1
Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until soft, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and coriander and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add the beans and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so the liquid simmers and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 ½ hours.
- Step 2
Remove half of the beans from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Place the remaining beans with their liquid in a food processor and process until smooth. Stir the puree into the reserved beans. Stir in the salt and pepper. Ladle the soup among 4 bowls, top with cilantro and serve.

Very good and easy as written. Needs acid and more spices - added lime juice, turmeric, and way more curry powder and coriander than the recipe asked for.
