HEAT oil in a large saucepan or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion, red pepper and season with salt and pepper. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are soft. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds longer.

ADD stock, black beans, quinoa, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, and spices to the pot and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, for 20-25 minutes.

STIR in cheese, corn, cilantro and lime juice. Let soup sit a few minutes to allow corn to thaw and cheese to melt. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.

DIVIDE into bowls and top with grated cheddar and other desired toppings.
