Instructions

1. In a large pot over medium heat, heat oil. Add in bell pepper, onion, and jalapeno and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add in garlic and cumin cook for one minute longer.
2. Add in chicken broth and black beans in their liquid and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Simmer for 10 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, mix sour cream and lime juice and spoon into a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip or a resealable plastic bag with one small cut in the corner.
4. Remove soup from heat and puree until smooth in a blender or using an immersion blender. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then divide into 4 bowls.
5. Using the bag filled with sour cream, draw three circle rings on top of the soup. Drag a toothpick across the rings from the center outward in 1-inch intervals to make the spiderweb.
