Dice the onion and mince the garlic. Remove the stem and seeds from the jalapeño, then dice the remaining jalapeño flesh. Add the onion, garlic, jalapeño, and olive oil to a soup pot and sauté over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are soft and translucent. While the onion, garlic, and jalapeño are sautèing, use a blender to purée two of the three cans of black beans . If the beans are too thick to purée, add just enough water to make them blend. Add all three cans of black beans to the soup pot , along with the can of fire roasted diced tomatoes , the cumin, oregano, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine. Place a lid on the pot and allow the soup to come up to a simmer. Allow the soup to simmer, stirring often, for about 15 minutes. After simmering for 15 minutes, taste and add salt to taste . Serve hot with your choice of toppings.
