Refried Bean Soup Recipe - Tried and True :o)

[Guest guest]

One of my daughters was feeling under the weather today and asked for me to make

soup for her. I didn't have any canned soup, mostly because I don't like it but

also because I hate grocery shopping and wait until the last possible minute to

do it. Anyway, after surveying the ingredients I had, I came up with the

following recipe. It's quick, easy, and very low-fat. How low fat? Don't know

exactly since I haven't got a clue as to how to figure that stuff out. I just

know that the only fat in the recipe comes from the veg*n milk if you decide to

use it and the scant amount of olive oil used to sauté the onion and garlic.

Even there you can cut out that fat by sautéing in water instead of oil.

Anyway, here it is. If you try it, I hope you enjoy it.

Ingredients:

 

 

 

1 Tbls olive oil

 

1 med onion - diced

 

1 clove garlic - minced OR 1 Tbls garlic powder - more or less to suit your

taste

 

3-16 oz cans fat free refried beans

 

2 tsps ground Cumin

 

2 - 3 Cups vegan milk (plain variety - not flavored). Add more or less to reach

the consistency you prefer. Not Chicken broth or veg broth would probably work

just fine too.

 

1 Cup salsa - hot or mild, your choice. I used mild since my kids were going to

be eating this.

 

1 Cup Nutritional Yeast - more or less to suit your taste

 

2 Cups frozen corn kernels - no need to thaw

 

 

 

Instructions:

 

 

 

Put onions and garlic in a Dutch oven and sauté in olive oil until onions are

transparent (about 5 - 10 minutes). Add remaining ingredients, briefly stirring

after each addition. Stir until all the ingredients are incorporated. Heat

through and serve.

Gayle,

This soup sounds really good and easy. Please explain about the

nutritional yeast. I've seen recipes that call for a few tablespoons of

the stuff, but never a cup. Does it add flavor as well as have

nutritional value? (duh, Karen, that's why it's called nutritional

yeast!). I have never cooked with it.

Thanks,

Karen

That looks really good - fast, easy & comfort food. Just the way I like it.

Hey Beth,

Vegan milk is like soy, rice, oat, etc... milk.. Of course if you aren't

vegan you don't have to worry about the non-dairy and can just use dairy

milk. I intended to put veg*n (vegan or vegetarian) but forgot to do that.

Sorry.

 

God's Peace,

Gayle

No, no, don't apologize! Ohhh....I had to reread, lol. I had never heard

reference to vegan milk per se. Of course, silly me. I know what you're

talking about. *I'M* sorry. Beth
