Follow The Directions

01

Step

In 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

Step

Stir 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

Step

Pour 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

Step

Season the soup to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.

05

Step

Carefully transfer the soup in batches to a blender (or use an immersion blender directly in the pot) and blend until smooth and creamy.

06

Step

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish each serving with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of chopped red bell pepper.

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.

    I didn't have red bell pepper, so I used orange. It was still delicious!
