Inspired by Fat Free Vegan’s Smoky Refried Bean Soup
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
3 – 4 cloves garlic, minced
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans
1 cup frozen corn (pre-cooked, thawed or canned work too)
1 tsp cumin
1 1/2 tsp paprika
1 tsp chili powder
1 c +/- water or veggie broth (add more liquid as needed)
dash of hot sauce
1 tsp cilantro
salt and pepper
(all spices to taste)
Saute pepper, onion and garlic in olive oil until soft. Add tomatoes, refried beans and broth/water. Once refried beans have “dissolved” into the liquid, add beans, corn and spices. (Cooked rice is also a nice option here.) Cover and let simmer for 20 – 30 minutes until flavors have blended, stirring occassionally.
Fun to serve with Greek yogurt, salsa or tortilla chips!
The soup looks delish and the bowl is reallyreally neat
That sounds so good and hearty. I’ve been in the mood for a thick soup since this cooler weather is starting to show up!!
