No meat version. Using the new blogger is so pleasant. Made more bean soup yesterday for the freezer. Not exactly this recipe. I will do it slightly different depending on what tomatoes and beans I have and this time I didn't have any celery.
The frozen cubes are chipotle peppers in adobo sauce from last chili bean soup. Hot stuff.
I drain and rinse the red and black beans and use the full pinto beans as a thickener.
One onion, two stalks celery, three cloves garlic. One tablespoon chili powder, one tablespoon cumin since it was a lot of beans, tomato, and vegetables.
Extra-Toasty Cheez-Its go well with the bean soup.
