In a pot, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Stir in the soaked black beans, diced tomatoes, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and let simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serve hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and lime wedges.
