Here is how you make Mexican Bean Soup:

My sister's instructions would be for using canned beans:"I made a sofrito with carrots, celery, garlic and, onion. Added canned beans a plop of tomato paste, plop of chipoltle, some stewed tomatoes, chopped cabbage. Simmer for 15 with lid on or off depending on how thick u want it. Topped it with grated cheddar and cilamtro." What we did, was saute onions and the sausage in a pot. When they were carmelized, add the rest of the ingredients, including the corn. Put the chopped cabbage on the bottom of a bowl [uncooked], and fresh cilantro ontop... added some plain sour cream, instead of the cheese... I have since stopped eating dairy, so it isn't included in the recipe calculations. If you are using a slow cooker for the beans-- soak overnight, rinse, add water and all of the ingredients, except the onion and sausage. I caramelized those about 20 minutes before serving. :) Goes well with cornbread or corn chips, like tortilla soup.The chipotle can be a bit much for kids, so scale it back, and add to taste, if it is going to be a problem. :)Serving Size: 8 servingsNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user AUBREYJO.
