Ingredients
  1. • 2 tablespoons grape seed or corn oil
  2. • 1 large yellow onion, diced small
  3. • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  4. • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  5. • Kosher salt and ground pepper to taste
  6. • ½ cup Guelaguetza Mole Rojo paste
  7. • 2 ½ teaspoons apple cider vinegar
  8. • 3 cups of previously cooked black beans or 3 cans of black beans rinsed and drained
  9. • 3 cups vegetable broth
  10. • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  11. Coriander Crema
  12. • ½ cup Creme Fraiche
  13. • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  14. • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, stir in Guelaguetza Mole Rojo paste, apple cider vinegar and about ½ cup of the vegetable broth. Stir with a spatula until mole paste has fully dissolved. Reserve.
  2. In a medium pot, put oil over medium heat. When oil is hot, add the onions and cook, stirring until onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, cumin and about ½ teaspoon of salt, cook until fragrant, about a minute or two.
  3. Stir in Guelaguetza Mole Rojo, vegetable broth, black beans and season with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high heat and bring soup to a boil, then lower the heat to medium-low to simmer, stirring occasionally for about 15 minutes.
  4. While the soup cooks, combine sour cream, coriander and salt pepper to taste in a small bowl. Reserve for garnish.
  5. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch and about 1 tablespoon of cold water, stir to combine. After the soup has cooked for about 15 minutes, transfer 2 cups of it to a blender and add the cornstarch mixture. Puree until smooth. Return to pot. Cook, stirring, until soup thickens, about 2 minutes.
  6. Serve in bowls and garnish with the Coriander Crema. Top with tortilla strips if desired. Enjoy!
