Instructions

In a medium saucepan/pot over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onions, sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add smoked chili powder and tomato paste, cook 1 minute stirring constantly. Add vegetable broth, stir to combine. Add black beans, bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.

Using a ladle, measure 2 cups (500mL) of soup. Add soup and chipotle pepper to blender or food processor and process until smooth; return to remaining broth. Add frozen corn and cooked brown rice, cook 5 minutes until corn is no longer frozen and heated through.
