Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon curry powder
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14 oz) coconut milk
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and curry powder, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Add the black beans, coconut milk, vegetable broth, and corn. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. While the soup simmers, prepare the cilantro rice. In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat and cover. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
  5. Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro. Season with salt to taste.
  6. Once the soup is ready, taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot, ladled into bowls with a scoop of cilantro rice on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over the top.

Notes

Tip: Adjust the level of curry powder to your taste; using a mild variety will yield a less intense flavor, while a hotter blend will add more spice.

For extra depth of flavor, consider adding a splash of lime juice just before serving. If you want to spice things up, a dash of hot sauce can give it that extra kick. For a vegetarian option, ensure your vegetable broth is free from animal products.

Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding a little water if it thickens too much. This soup also freezes well, making it a great option for meal prep!
