Ingredients

  • 1 pound dry black beans

  • 3 quarts water

  • 2 cubes chicken bouillon

  • ½ small onion, roughly chopped

  • ½ small green bell pepper, stemmed and seeded

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 6 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 ½ teaspoons white sugar

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano, or to taste

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 1 teaspoon minced onion, or to taste

Directions

  1. Wash beans; place into a 6-quart stockpot with water to cover and let soak for 8 hours.

  2. Rinse and drain beans. Bring drained beans, 3 quarts water, and chicken bouillon to a boil in the pot over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3 hours. Do not drain.

  3. Blend onion and bell pepper in a food processor until smooth.

  4. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic in the hot oil for 1 minute. Add onion mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for 4 minutes. Stir mixture into beans. Add sugar, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper. Let simmer, uncovered, until beans are tender and soup is thickened, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Garnish with minced onion.
