Another rainy Sunday…perfect for soup! This recipe is really easy and takes no time at all. I wrote out the whole recipe below, but you can totally make this your own. This time around, I didn’t have any white beans and certainly wasn’t heading out of the house, so I doubled the black beans. I also had a request for a spicier soup, so I added some jalapeno peppers.
I decided to let my chopper do the work on my onion.
Then I sautéed my onion for about 5 minutes until soft and fragrant. I added the other ingredients on top and then the chicken broth (I recommend low sodium).
The BOY helped me pick out some stronger peppers at the store. I decided to cut them and add them to the soup. I only used a few, and the soup was much spicier. I am happy I channeled my inner food network star and remembered to taste the soup as I went.
I don’t like refried beans, so I have never added them to the soup. I also shared this recipe with a friend who added turkey meat and made it more of a chili. Delish! Don’t be afraid to get creative!

[…] Along with our free yogurt, we got a coupon for our next visit, so I am sure the BOY and I will be heading back again soon. Let’s be honest, we’ve been three times since they opened this year. Since I knew we were having yogurt for dinner (its been on our calendar for weeks), we are having a light Monday night dinner of Taco Soup. […]
