5 Ingredient Soup

Lizzymommy's Note:

Every time I make this soup, people rave about it. It couldn't be any easier, and tastes like you've slaved over the stove all day! Delicious, high protein, high fiber, low fat, low calorie! This recipe is a constant in our menu rotation. It's also what I call "Pantry Food" because everything required is stuff we always keep on hand. Perfect for a sudden cold snap that has you craving hot soup!

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 1 (15 ounce) can vegetable broth (or 2 cups. If you're not vegetarian, whatever broth or stock you have on hand is perfectly fine)
• 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans (fat-free)
• 1 (15 ounce) can black beans , drained and rinsed
• 2 cups frozen corn (use one of the empty cans filled to the very top)
• 1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies

Directions:

1. Put the broth and refried beans into a soup pot and heat, while whisking together, until the beans have incorporated fully into the broth.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients and heat, while stirring, until the soup is nice and bubbly.
3. Serve with a variety of toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, fresh cilantro, a few drops Chipotle tabasco (This is the BEST add-in!), etc. The variations are endless and delicious!

Nice, filling soup. It's very easy to make. At first, I made this as written and I felt it needed much more flavor. I added fresh minced garlic, onion and cumin and simmered longer. That made the flavor much better without making the recipe any more difficult. I garnished with fat free sour cream and chopped scallions. Cheese would be good, too. Thanx for posting this!

Very good, and sooo easy! Didn't have any hot peppers on hand so added chipotle, really great!

So easy - added chopped chipotle peppers in adobo to spice it up!
