Simple Pinto Bean Soup


Beans are chock-full of protein and minerals - add more carbs by eating with tortillas or bread on the side!

Don’t be fooled by the simplicity of this recipe. It’s loaded with good flavor and very filling. It’s was created from NOT having enough leftover cooked pinto beans, but LOTS of bean broth.

HERE’S ALL I DID

I mashed 1 1/2 cups of cooked pinto beans, very well. Then added enough bean broth to make it soup. Warmed it up over medium heat, seasoned with salt & pepper. Served with shredded cheese, sliced jalapenos, and tortilla chips. (I added a few drops of Tabasco to my bowl, yum!)

It’s not gourmet cuisine, but it’s still good eats when there’s not much to eat.
