Method
-
step 1
Firstly make the salsa sofrito.
Put all the ingredients in a bowl, mix well and leave to stand for 1 hour to allow the flavours to develop.
Chill until needed. -
step 2
For the soup, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large heavy-based pan over a low heat.
Add half the onion, half the garlic and the oregano and cook for 10 minutes, or until softened. -
step 3
Add the beans and 1.5 litres water and bring to the boil.
Cover the pan and simmer for 1½-2 hours, or until the beans are tender. Drain. -
step 4
Meanwhile, put the remaining onion and garlic, together with the tomatoes, chilli flakes, cumin, coriander and paprika in a blender.
Blitz until smooth. Heat another tbsp oil in a frying pan, then add the contents of the blender.
Cook for 15–20 minutes, or until the mix has reduced and is pulpy in consistency.
Add to the beans along with the vegetable stock, stir and simmer for 20 minutes more.
Add the lemon juice and season if needed. -
step 5
Divide the soup between bowls and serve with the sour cream or crème fraîche, the salsa and lime wedges.
