Use ground dried chipotle powder and a star anise pod (=1/4 tsp ground). Bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Meanwhile roast the cumin on a dry skillet and grind using a mortar and pestle. Add all of the ingredients and turn down heat to low. Cover and simmer for several hours until the beans are soft.
Beans are difficult to digest. I soak my black beans the night before cooking and rinse several times. Chop them coarsely with the food processor and soak for another few hours, leeching out proteins, helping to make the beans more digestible. I prefer my bean soups watery and thin - usually blending the final result and cooking an extra 10 minutes (remove the star anise first!).
Those who tend toward gas when eating drier foods might want to drizzle some good - quality olive oil, or stir in a hunk of coconut oil, to this dish when its finished. The added fat with boost the richness, and aid the body in digestion.

Each dosha reflects a distinct metabolic nature and describes strengths & weaknesses in bodily function, and how these affect energy levels, digestion, susceptibility to disease, and many other tendencies.
Your metabolic nature not only affects your physical characteristics, but also influences your mental thought patterns, confidence, and enthusiasm.
Ayurveda balances these metabolic strengths & weaknesses to support your body's vitality and prevent recurrent disease cycles. This support is a critical aid, especially in chronic or incurable disease conditions.
The 3 metabolic body types (doshas), are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Through dosha, Ayurveda empowers people to identify metabolic imbalances early, break repetitive patterns of disease, and cultivate habits that support long-term vitality and well-being.
Ultimately, these metabolic patterns also provide a framework for understanding yourself, including body, mind, and spiritual tendencies.
