- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium red pepper diced
- 1 medium green pepper diced
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 medium jalapeno pepper seeded and diced
- 2 tsp chipotle puree - see note below or chipotle sauce
- 1/4 cup Tequila

- 8 cups vegetable stock
- 2 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tbsp cumin
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground pepper

Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add the red and green peppers and onions and cook, stirring until vegetables are softened, not browned, about 5 - 7 minutes. Add garlic and jalapeno and cook until jalapeno is just softened, about 2 minutes.
- Puree the chipotle peppers and adobo sauce in a blender or processor until smooth.
- Push vegetables to the side of the pot and add 2 tsp of chipotle puree into the center. Fry for 1 minutes, then stir together with the vegetables. Add the Tequila and reduce slightly, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add dry beans, stock, oregano, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Over medium high heat, bring to a boil. Let boil 10-15 minutes, then reduce heat to simmer and cook until the beans are just softened, 1-2 hours. Add hot water as needed during cooking to keep the soup liquid.
- If soup is too thin, remove a small amount and use an immersion blender or processor to puree. Add the puree back into the pot. Repeat as needed until desired thickness.

NOTE – To make Chipotle puree – add 7 ounce can Chipotle Peppers in Adobo Sauce to food processor. Process until smooth. Store leftovers in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
