I have a bag of dried pinto beans I bought awhile ago, and now I'm short on cash so I am trying to use things in my cabinet. Does anyone have a cheap recipe for bean soup? Thanks!!

    This is easy and pretty cheap. I like hot food, if not; green peppers could work I guess. Soaking the beans overnight would make it quicker the next day.

    This but also add a can of diced tomatoes if you have them. I make this quite often and it is suprisingly delicious considering the humble ingredients.

    This is really good, quick and easy to make. :)

    Spicy Black Bean Soup

    1 spray(s) cooking spray
    1 medium uncooked onion, finely chopped
    4 clove(s) garlic clove(s), minced
    45 oz canned black beans, undrained, divided (three 15 oz cans)
    1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
    1 tsp ground cumin
    14 1/2 oz fat-free chicken broth, or vegetable broth
    10 oz canned tomatoes with green chilis, such as Rotel Tomatoes
    11 oz canned yellow corn, drained
    ( I just use frozen corn instead of canned)

    Instructions:

    Coat bottom of a large stockpot with cooking spray. Add onion and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft but not brown, about 5 minutes.

    Place one can of beans in blender; add sautéed onion mixture, red pepper flakes and cumin. Cover and blend on high until smooth, about 30 seconds. Pour mixture back into stockpot.

    Place second can of beans and broth in blender and puree until smooth; add to stockpot.

    Stir third can of beans (do not puree first), tomatoes and green chilies, and corn into stockpot. Bring to a boil, lower heat to medium and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of soup per serving.
