In reply to Barb. Hi Barb, canned beans and prepared broth contribute to the sodium. You can control if you make your own.

HI: Looks like a great recipe.
I haven’t tried this yet, but I’m trying to figure out why it is so high in sodium?

Thanks,

This has been one of my all-time favourite soups for years. The perfect, warming, balanced flavours are perfect for a cosy fall meal, but this soup is pretty much a winner year-round. It’s so easy to make, and so satisfyingly delicious.

I am not an onion fan, so I omitted the onions and replaced with onion powder. Everything else was followed exactly. The soup turned out thin and quite honestly rather boring. I doctored it up with 2 cans of Rotel Fire Roasted tomatoes, 1.5 jarred roasted red peppers and a little bit of hickory smoke. I contemplated adding a bit of Enchalada sauce, but held off. After the additions, it was very good.

This has been a staple recipe for me for years! I tell everyone I know about how great it is. I’ll occasionally add a jalapeño for more spice, but other than that, I make it as-is. Such a great recipe

This recipe has immediately been added to our Fall and Winter standard fare. It is easy to make. I used an immersion blender as my kitchen lacks a blender. Other than that I wouldn’t do anything different.

In reply to Carol. Hi Carol, if you want to use dried beans, cook them according to this method first.
