Refried Bean Soup Recipes

Well, I was so excited with my first posting this evening (and I had a restaurant sized can of black beans open) that I decided to give another recipe a try! I hope you use this as a "guide", as I do with all recipes, and add or omit whatever you think will make it better. I look forward to your comments :)
Because I cook for several family members with different dietary needs, I cannot make it as "hot", salty or spicy as I like. You may add hot sauce or cayenne or ?
As I am new to Spark People, and posting recipes ANYWHERE, I had some difficulty with the calculations--I can assure you that this is a FAT FREE recipe, however no matter what I tried I still came up with some fat in the calculations.
We topped this with a T of fat free sour cream, T of Kraft fat free cheddar and some chopped green onions. NO added fat, LOTS of added flavor (don't forget to add this into your calorie total if you do the same). And if you can afford a little "fat", by all means add some crumbled tortilla chips and a slice of avacado....yumm...
I hope you try this soup and enjoy it!

Beans, corn and Ro-tel tomatoes make this low-calorie soup very hearty and filling.

quick, easy, tasty, low cal, low carb

this is a great meatless dish !

This tasty soup can be ready to eat in 30 minutes. A nice southwestern flavor. You choose the hotness level of the salsa. The refried beans give it smooth, creamy texture.

From Lynn's Kitchen, serves 8 I guess

This is an attempt to make the original recipe found online more vegetarian and lower in sodium, although the sodium is still quite high. I made a mistake with the refried beans, they contain lard and are a Con Agra product (genetic modification). Look for low sodium or no sodium vegetarian refried beans instead. You can veganize this recipe by using vegan cheese and sour cream.

This is a super easy to make vegetarian chili recipe. Zero choleterol and very few calories. And very tasty. Most soups take hours...This is one of the few soups I can make in the evening after work.

Thick filling soup

Simple, filling, and low-cal!

The ingredients vary slightly in the original recipe so read carefully. Some ingredients on the food finder did not have exact ingredients such as the paprika, should be smoky paprika. Thanks!

Simple and easy!

I adapted this recipe from my old recipe to reduce the sodium content. It is thick, filling and tasty.
