Ingredients

  • 1 quart vegetable broth
  • 14.5 ounces canned petite-diced tomatoes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion large, diced medium
  • 1 bell pepper color choice is yours, diced medium
  • 3 tablespoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin ground
  • 1 teaspoon oregano dried
  • 31 ounces canned black beans drained
  • 31 ounces canned hominy drained
  • 3 garlic cloves large minced
  • 1 ounce bittersweet chocolate
  • 1/4 cup cilantro fresh chopped

Instructions

  • Microwave broth and tomatoes in a microwave-safe container on high power until steamy hot, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a Dutch oven or small soup kettle over medium-high heat. Add onions and peppers; sauté until soft and golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add chili powder, cumin and oregano: sauté until fragrant, a minute or so. Add beans and hominy along with hot broth mixture. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to low and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender and flavors have blended, about 20 minutes. Stir in garlic, chocolate and cilantro; simmer a couple of minutes to blend flavors. Turn off heat and let stand a few minutes if there's time. Adjust seasonings and serve.
