Rustic Bolivian Simmered Beans Soup

Assemble the ingredients: beans, cinnamon, black pepper, lemon juice, olive oil, bell pepper, coriander.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the beans and cook until simmered.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Bolivian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Bolivian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
