Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups Vegetable Broth
  • 1 can Black Beans (Rinsed and drained)
  • 1 cup Corn (Fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 Onion (Yellow or white works best)
  • 3 cloves Garlic (Minced)
  • 1 Red Bell Pepper (Chopped)
  • 2 tbsp Chili Powder

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add finely diced onion, minced garlic, and chopped red bell pepper, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until softened.
