Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups chopped onions

3 garlic cloves -- minced

1 jalapeno chile (optional) -- seeded, minced

2 teaspoons chili powder

2 teaspoons ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon ground yellow mustard

16 ounces vegetarian refried beans -- (canned)

3 cups defatted low-sodium vegetable broth

29 ounces Mexican-style stewed tomatoes -- (canned)

3 1/3 cups cooked red kidney beans

or 30 oz canned beans; drained

1 2/3 cups cooked black beans

or 15-oz. canned beans; drained

2 flour tortillas -- for garnish

1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro -- for garnish

 

 

Heat the oil in a large, nonstick Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the

onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are crisp-tender and

begin to brown, about 5 to 6 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapeno, if using, and

cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes.

 

Add chili powder, cumin, coriander, oregano and mustard and cook, stirring, just

until combined. Add refried beans and 1 cup of the broth and stir until smooth.

Pour in remaining broth and stewed tomatoes, dicing any large pieces of tomato.

Add kidney and black beans and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer 5

minutes.

 

Meanwhile, cut the tortillas into thin strips, about 2 x 1/4 inches. When soup

is heated, pour into individual bowls and garnish with tortilla strips and

cilantro. Makes 10 servings.
