Drain and rinse beans before using.

In a slow cooker, combine the soaked beans, onions, garlic, carrots, celery, red pepper, jalapeño, chili powder, cumin, oregano, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper.

Pour in the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine all ingredients.

Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 4-5 hours, or until the beans are tender.

Use an immersion blender to purée part of the soup until desired consistency is reached. Alternatively, transfer some soup to a blender, purée, and return to the slow cooker.

Season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot. Garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream or cotija cheese if using.
