Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Step 2
Toss bell pepper, tomatoes, onion, and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a mixing bowl until vegetables are coated. Spread mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3
Roast in the preheated oven, stirring gently every 5 minutes, until vegetables are lightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.

Step 4
While vegetables are roasting, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add jalapeno and garlic and saute for 2 minutes. Add water and 1 cup corn; bring to a simmer. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 5
Add avocado to the pot and puree soup with an immersion blender.

Step 6
Stir in the remaining corn, black beans, black-eyed peas, roasted vegetables, oregano, cumin, chili powder, salt, cayenne, and black pepper. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.

Step 7
Remove soup from the heat. Stir in vinegar, cilantro, and lime juice. Ladle into bowls and serve.
