Smoky Black-Bean Soup

3 (15 ½ oz.) cans black beans
¼ lb. Canadian bacon, chopped
1 large onion, chopped
1 green bell paper, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. Cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
2 chipotle peppers (canned in sauce), chopped
4 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
¼ tsp. salt

1. Place 2 cans of the black beans in a colander; rinse and drain. Transfer the beans to a bowl and stir in the remaining can of beans.

2. Spray a large saucepan with canola oil nonstick spray and set over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 3-4 min. Add the onion, bell peppers, and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are softened and lightly browned, 6-7 min. Add the cumin and chipotles and chili powder; cook, stirring constantly, until fragreant, about 30 seconds. Add the beans and broth; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until slightly thickened, about 30 min.

3. Remove from heat; let cool about 10 min. Pour 4 cups of the soup into a blender or food processor and puree. Return the pureed soup to the saucepan and stir in the salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until heated through, about 2 min.
