Ingredients
For Soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 cup onion diced
- 1 tablespoon garlic minced
- 1-1/2 teaspoons ancho chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon Mexican oregano
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 (28-ounce can) whole tomatoes
- 2 (14-ounce cans) pinto beans with liquid
- 3 cups chicken or vegetable broth (I recommend low sodium broth)
For Garnishes:
- 1/2 cup Mexican style cream
- 1/2 cup queso fresco
- tortilla strips or chips
- 1/2 teaspoon ancho chili powder
- 1 avocado sliced
- cilantro optional
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large sauce pan and add the onion. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add the ancho chili powder, cumin, oregano and salt and cook for another minute.
- Place the canned tomatoes, pinto beans and a cup of broth in a blender and pulse. If you like it chunky, just pulse once or twice. If you prefer it smooth, blend for a minute.
- Pour the beans into the pan and rinse the blender with the remaining chicken broth and add to the soup.
- Simmer soup for 30 minutes.
- Garnish soup with cream, queso fresco, tortilla strips, a sprinkle of chili powder, sliced avocado and chopped cilantro.
Notes
- Recipe Tips:
- Although this soup is a bean soup that is thick and full, it has a lot of tomato and chili flavors to accompany it.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for five days. Freeze the soup in the freezer in a freezer-safe container for three minutes.
- When ready to reheat the soup, reheat it on the stovetop or in the microwave. If reheating the soup from a frozen state, allow it to defrost in the refrigerator overnight.
