A flavorful and hearty soup inspired by Costa Rican cuisine, perfect for a cozy meal.
Heat the canola and olive oil in a large stock pot over medium heat.
Using a mix of oils can enhance the flavor and prevent burning.
Add the chopped celery, onion, and tomato to the pot and sauté until softened.
Cut the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
Stir in the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking until fragrant.
Adding garlic and ginger at this stage prevents them from burning.
Mix in the black beans and all the spices, stirring well to combine.
Toast the spices slightly to release their aroma.
Pour in enough water to cover the ingredients, bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream.
Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs like cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
