1. Sort the beans, discarding any stones, cover with 3 cups of water and soak overnight. Drain and rinse.
2. Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
3. Cook the onion and jalapeño for 5 minutes, until soft and starting to brown.
4. Add the garlic, cumin, oregano, coriander and allspice and fry for 30 seconds.
5. Add the drained beans, 4 cups of water and the cilantro. Raise the heat to high and bring to a boil.
6. Cover, lower the heat and simmer for 1 hour.
7. Check the beans. They may need another 30 minutes to an hour depending on their age. If the mixture looks dry, add another cup of water.
8. When the beans are very soft, add the salt.
9. If you want a creamy soup, blend half of it until smooth with an immersion blender.
10. Add the carrot and simmer uncovered for 20–30 minutes, until soft.
11. Serve with the garnishes. It can also be served over rice for a heartier meal.
