Gratefully, this Refried Bean Soup is made with ingredients that I always have on hand: chicken broth, canned crushed tomatoes, garlic, onion, and of course, canned refried beans.
It’s quick to prepare and the garnishes make it over-the-top delicious: shredded cheese and/or sliced green onions, chopped cilantro and/or sour cream. Tortilla chips are a must.
Sample a big spoonful of the soup capturing some cheese, some cilantro and tortilla chip. Close your eyes. It almost tastes like a delicious enchilada.
