Warm and comforting refried bean soup with bacon, salsa, and chili powder, perfect for a cozy winter meal or as a delicious starter.
Ingredients:
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 0.75 cup chopped onion
  • 0.75 cup chopped celery
  • 1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.25 teaspoon chili powder
  • 0.125 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can Swanson® Chicken Broth
  • 0.25 cup prepared salsa, hot or mild
  • 0.5 cup Mexican cheese blend, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 4 ounces tortilla strips
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, crisp up the bacon until beautifully browned, turning occasionally, for about 10 minutes. Once done, let it rest on paper towels to drain, then crumble when cooled. Keep the flavorful grease in the skillet.
  • Cook onion and celery in bacon grease until tender, around 3 minutes. Mix in beans, crumbled bacon, oregano, chili powder, and garlic powder; cook until beans are soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Pour in chicken broth and salsa, bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes to blend flavors.
  • Top with a generous sprinkle of cheese and fresh cilantro, then serve alongside crunchy tortilla strips.
