Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon safflower oil 1 1/2 cups finely chopped onion 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons minced garlic (from 4 cloves) 2 tablespoons finely grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 2-inch piece) 1 or 2 green Thai chiles, jalapeno chiles, or other fresh chiles, finely chopped, plus more, sliced, for serving 1 teaspoon ground cumin 1 teaspoon ground coriander 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric 1 can (15 ounces) peeled plum tomatoes, coarsely chopped, with juice 4 cups cooked beans, plus 2 cups cooking liquid Pinch of coarse salt Yogurt, cilantro sprigs, and pita chips, for serving

Directions

Heat oil in a 4-quart pot over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and golden, about 8 minutes. Add ginger, chopped chiles, and spices; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.

Stir in tomatoes and their juice, beans and their liquid, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until thickened slightly, about 10 minutes.

Coarsely mash a third of the beans in pot using a potato masher or an immersion blender; stir to blend into soup.

Top with yogurt, cilantro sprigs, and sliced chiles, and serve with pita chips.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       11/24/2013   I had beans, tomatoes and peppers from my garden - and this seemed like the trick. I added more peppers (cayenne in my case) than it called for - and that made all the difference. I loved this soup! With some tortillas on a cold winter night the Indian spices made for a flavorful and warming contrast to some more traditional winter fare. I replaced the chicken stock with vegetable stock for my family vegetarian sensibilities - but even the carnivores enjoyed it! This will stay on my winter list!  
    
    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 2 stars       02/21/2013   It just wasn't as spicy as I had thought it would be. I liked having the beans in the soup to bulk it up, but both my husband and I thought it tasted more like spaghetti sauce. A good spaghetti sauce, but not like soup. I wouldn't make this again.
