INSTRUCTIONS:
Heat the oil in a large heavy based saucepan. Add the onions and sauté for five minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for a minute before adding the spices. Dry fry until it smells toasty before adding the tomatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, and then reduce to a simmer for ten minutes.
Meanwhile make the salsa. Peel and dice the mango into a bowl. Add the finely diced onion, tomato dice, lime juice and coriander leaves.
Blitz the soup using a hand blender or similar until smooth. Ladle into warmed bowls, top with a generous tablespoon of sour cream and a tablespoon of salsa. Serve with crisp salted tortillas.
