Tips

If you want a spicier soup, use salsa instead of tomatoes. The wonderful thing about bean soup is that it will take the flavor of whatever spice you want to use.


Directions

1. In a large pan, heat the oil, then add the onion, green peppers, celery, and garlic. Cook until the onions are clear and the other ingredients are cooked.

2. Add the beans and tomatoes with the liquid in the can. Heat through over medium heat.

3. Add the bouillon cubes and water along with all spices.

4. Heat through for 10 minutes or until the soup is completely hot.

5. Put about 1/2 of soup in a bowl and use submersible blender to blend the mixture until slightly chunky. Pour back into the pot and reheat.

6. Spoon into bowls. Add the cream cheese and sprinkle more bay leaf on top. Serve hot.
