idk black bean soup, for pressure or slow cooker

A few tablespoons of oil or butter, whatever you have or like

Diced trinity (onion, celery, bell pepper. I used pre-cut stuff from the grocery store because Milton wiped out my freezer contents. Honestly whatever aromatics you have on hand will serve.)

Minced garlic, like a spoonful-ish

Minced chipotle peppers in adobo, a spoonful or two (i like the jars, but sometimes can only get cans)

Stock or bullion however you like, or whatever you have. I used better than bullion mushroom because i had a jar in my pantry. If you have an open bottle of sub-par wine, a cup or so of that might be nice. Around 4 cups total, assuming you're making a half pound of beans.

A half pound of black beans, rinsed and checked for rocks. If you're doing this in a slow cooker, pre-soak them in cold water overnight first. Scale up if you like, I just cook for one.

Cumin, to taste

Garlic salt, to taste

Sour cream, if you like that kinda thing. Straight cream would be good too. Coconut milk might work if you don't do dairy fat.

Corn muffins or cornbread to serve with

For the pressure cooker:

Put it on saute mode. Add the fat and the veggies, and let cook until soft and aromatic, and they start to stick to the bottom a little

Mix in the chipotle and, if using, bullion concentrate, then add the beans and stock/water/whatever liquid you're using.

let cook on high pressure for 45 minutes. I let it depressurise naturally, but I don't think using quick release would hurt.

Mash up ay least some of the beans. An immersion blender is nice here, but a potato masher or a large spoon does fine.

Add cumin and garlic salt to taste. For me that's at least a tablespoon of cumin and a light shake or garlic salt, but it depends on what you like and how salty your liquid was.

Serve with a plop of sour cream and a hot corn muffin.

for the slow cooker:

If you're fancy, saute your veggies in the oil on the stovetop, then add to the slow cooker. If you're not fancy, just dump 'em in there as-is.

Mix in the chipotle and, if using, bullion concentrate, then add the beans and stock/water/whatever liquid you're using.

let cook on high for... probably ly at least four hours. Let's say most of the day to be sure? Idk, I always wind up letting g my slow cooker beans go for at least 8 hours. If you want them quicker, just make sure the beans are all cooked until fully soft. Nobody really likes crunchy black beans.

Mash up ay least some of the beans. An immersion blender is nice here, but a potato masher or a large spoon does fine.

Add cumin and garlic salt to taste. For me that's at least a tablespoon of cumin and a light shake or garlic salt, but it depends on what you like and how salty your liquid was.

Serve with a plop of sour cream and a hot corn muffin.
