Instructions
  1. In a large pot, heat oil over low to medium heat. Add celery, onion, and red pepper, and saute until they soften.
  2. Add garlic and stir for one minute. Add spices, bay leaf, and salt, and stir for one minute.
  3. Add broth, black beans, and sherry vinegar. Simmer for 20-30 minutes.
  4. Remove bay leaf. Just before serving, scoop out about 1 cup of the beans and set aside (a liquid measuring cup like a Pyrex one works well for this step). Using a handheld immersion blender, blend the remaining soup mixture that is in the pot. Return the unblended, whole beans (that you set aside) back to the pot.
