I've had prejudice against soup in the summer. I don't know why. I eat other foods hot, so why the aversion to soup? This is one of my favorite dishes. I like Mexican food so I came up with this during the Daniel Fast. It is "Chicken Tortilla Soup" without chicken or tortillas. The green chilis and the cilantro make it EXTRA good.
CAUTION - THIS MAKES A HUGE POT OF SOUP
1/2 to 1 whole onion chopped
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1 14 oz can stewed tomatoes - chopped
1 can Ro-Tel
1 can Dark Red Kidney Beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can Black Beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cans whole kernel corn
3 cans chopped green chilis (use the liquid too)
4 cans vegetable broth (I use chicken broth if we are not fasting meat)
2 cups cooked brown rice (it's a whole grain, better for stable blood sugar)
1/8 cup cilantro, finely chopped (it's in the produce aisle, looks like parsley)
3 tspns cumin
2 tspns garlic (I usually use the minced stuff in the jar, sometimes I'll chop a clove instead)
Directions
Saute onion & garlic in olive oil. Add everything else and simmer for at least an hour.
Since we are not fasting, when I made this tonight I added the meat off of a rotisserie chicken. There is still protein in this meal even without the chicken. The beans and rice provide it nicely.
I hope you make this. It is exciting to have satisfying mexican flavor without all the cheese that is usually added into mexican dishes.
Thanks for reading and your comments!!!
