Recipe
Spicy Taco Bean Soup
Three beans do three different jobs here: black beans and great northerns hold their shape while the refried beans dissolve into the chicken broth and thicken it toward chili territory. Taco seasoning, corn, tomato and onion round it out. Thirty minutes gets you ten cups — pantry cooking that doesn't taste like a compromise.
