Sopa de Frijol is one of those dishes you’ll make over and over again.
It comes together in minutes and delivers big, bold flavors with minimal effort.
Completely vegan and perfect as a quick lunch. Simple and delicious!
Ingredients
- S&W Pinquito Beans – You will need two cans. Ready-to-use and more affordable than animal-based proteins. Talk about a win-win!
- Water – Swap out for vegetable broth to add more flavor.
- Soy chorizo – Here, we are making a vegan recipe, but if you prefer regular chorizo, feel free to use it instead.
- Olive oil is needed to cook the chorizo, onion, and garlic.
- White onions, garlic, and salt will add flavor to the soup.
- Chipotle in adobo sauce for a smokiness and to add spice.
Step-By-Step Instructions
- To a blender, add the pinquito beans with the liquid and everything.
- Add water, salt, and chipotle pepper.
Blend until smooth and set aside. This is what gives the soup a yummy creamy texture.
Chipotle in adobo sauce is a very typical ingredient in Mexican cuisine and adds a lot of flavor. For a less spicy version, use half or omit completely.
FYI: You might also hear this recipe referred to as “Caldo de Frijol.”
- Heat oil and cook the chorizo for 2-3 minutes.
- To the pot, add the onion and garlic. Cook for 1 minute more.
- Add the bean mixture from the blender.
- Drain the other can of beans and add it to the pot.
We are making a meatless and nutritious recipe here.
Beans have zero saturated fat or trans-fat and are cholesterol-free.
S&W Pinquito Beans are petite, pinkish-brown, lightly speckled beans with a smooth, semi-sweet, delicate taste. They also provide 6-7g of protein per serving which is roughly the same as an egg or 1 oz of meat.
How to Adjust:
For a creamier texture, blend both cans of the beans to the blender.
Or, for a chunkier texture, add another can of drained S&W Pinquito Beans.
Storing Instructions:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and keep for up to 5 days in the fridge. To store in the freezer, place the leftovers in a sealable bag, removing as much air as possible. Use within 5 months.
