Three Bean Soup

 

Chili-flavored soup. 1 can black beans, red beans, pinto beans, drained. 1 can diced tomato, 1 can Rotel tomato. Chicken broth. 1 onion, 2 stalks celery, 2 cloves garlic. 1 tbl. chili powder, 1 tbl. cumin. 2 pork chops, cooked, chopped into cubes. (Optional). Normally meatless, but any leftover meat works well.

Less spicy version of this soup. Usually put in chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, which makes it hot.
