1 tablespoon vegetable oil
4 carrots, chopped
1 onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chili powder

Preparation

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir carrots, onion, and garlic until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir chili powder and cumin into onion mixture; cook and stir until evenly coated, about 2 minutes.
Pour broth over onion mixture and add 1/2 of the black beans, corn, and black pepper. Bring broth mixture to a boil.
