Spicy Black Bean Soup is the most satisfying meal for any day of the week. It is healthy & it can be made with just a handful of ingredients. You can make it with black beans, corn, some veggies, and spices.
Wash the black beans properly until the water runs out clean. Then soak the black beans overnight or for at least 6-8 hours.
Add oil to the Instant Pot and press saute. When the oil is hot then add onion, celery, and carrots and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add diced tomatoes and stir.
Then add soaked black beans and stock. Lastly, add Italian Seasoning, Red Chili Flakes, and Cumin Powder. Mix all these ingredients.
Close the lid and with the vent in the sealing position, pressure cook for 30 minutes at HIGH-pressure level. Let the pressure release naturally (NPR).
When the steam is released and the valve comes down then open the lid. Stir and add more water or stock (if needed). Add corns and saute for 2-3 minutes.(Note: if you want a little thicker consistency, then take around 1 cup of soup and blend it. Add this blended puree to the soup. This will help in making soup thick.)
Transfer the soup into a bowl and garnish with Greek Yogurt/Sour Cream, grilled corns, scallions, cilantro. Sprinkle some lemon juice. Serve hot!
