Method
Soak the beans overnight or 6 to 8 hours prior to cooking. Drain and rinse.
In a large pot, bring 1/2 cup water to a simmer over medium-high heat.
Add onions, bell pepper and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are translucent and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes.
Stir in cumin and chipotle and cook 1 minute, stirring.
Add drained beans and 10 cups water.
Bring soup to a boil, then lower to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, until beans are tender.
Remove 4 cups soup and carefully purée in a blender.
Return purée to pot and stir in cilantro, nutritional yeast and lime juice.
Spoon into bowls for serving and garnish with avocado.
