For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk. Adjust the amount of hot pepper sauce to your preferred level of spiciness. If you don't have fresh mango, you can use frozen mango chunks, thawed. To make this soup vegan, omit the sour cream garnish or substitute with a plant-based sour cream alternative. The soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving. Consider adding a squeeze of lime juice at the end for extra zing.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the minced onion, garlic, and diced red bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
02
StepStir in the rinsed and drained black beans, diced mango, sliced banana, ground cumin, ground ginger, and hot pepper sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, until the fruit begins to soften, approximately 5 minutes.
03
StepPour in the coconut milk and vegetable broth. Bring the soup mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer gently, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced slightly and the flavors have melded, about 1 hour.
04
StepSeason the soup to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
05
StepCarefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth and creamy.
06
StepLadle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped red bell pepper.
