Spicy Bean Soup
This is a high fiber, low-fat soup that's full of flavor. The soup in the photo is a variation with diced ham. Here's the basic version:
One 14.5 oz. can low fat chicken broth One 14.5 oz. can fat-free refried beans One 14.5 oz. can black beans One 14.5 oz. can pinto beans One 10 oz. can Rotel brand diced tomatos and green chilis
This can't be easier. Open the cans, drain and rinse the beans, pour everything into a pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes. This also can be made in a crock pot.
Variations: Add diced ham. Sub vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Sub the diced tamatos with the spicy version.
