Easy soup recipe
For some reason, even though it's a zillion degrees today, I wanted soup for lunch. But I didn't want any of the pre-prepared soups I had on hand so I decided to make some with what I had on hand. It was incredibly easy and it turned out really well so I thought I'd share. It's sort of like what you'd get if you crossed minestrone with chili.
Super Easy Mexitalian Bean Soup
¼ cup onion, coarsely chopped
3 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
½ C. yellow squash, diced
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 15-oz. can black beans w/liquid
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes & green chilies w/liquid
1 15-oz. can mixed chili beans, drained
1 can cut green beans, drained
1 (or 2) links Italian sausage, cooked & diced (hot or mild as preferred)
⅛ tsp each oregano, marjoram, basil
½ tsp salt (or to taste)
In a medium saucepan, saute the onion, garlic and squash in olive oil over medium-high heat until it softens. Add all of the remaining ingredients and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, covered, for half an hour. Serve. It's really good with tortilla chips. :)
If you prefer it vegetarian, leave out the sausage. I used Eden Organic brand beans & tomatoes, which are salt-free, so if you use a non-organic, salted brand, you can probably omit the salt. Fresh green beans would be better than canned, but I had no fresh ones on hand. You could use zucchini instead of yellow squash, too.
