In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine the first 6 ingredients. Cook, covered, on low 6-8 hours or until vegetables are softened.

Puree soup using an immersion blender. Or, cool soup slightly and puree in batches in a blender. Return to slow cooker and heat through.
In a small skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add corn; cook and stir until golden brown, 4-6 minutes. Sprinkle soup with pepper. Garnish with corn and cilantro.

Test Kitchen tips

This version of black bean soup is thinner than most. It's a first-rate base for different mix-ins like shredded chicken.

Experiment with more toppings like salsa, sour cream, hot pepper sauce or lime.
