Steps:

• Rinse beans. In a 4- to 5-quart Dutch oven combine beans and the 6 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans.
• In the Dutch oven cook onion, celery, carrots, and garlic in hot oil until tender. Add beans. Stir in cumin, salt, and cayenne pepper. Add broth and the 2 cups water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, covered, for 1 to 1-1/2 hours or until beans are tender.
• Using a handheld immersion blender, blend mixture slightly. Return to Dutch oven. Finely shred 1 teaspoon peel from orange; then juice orange. Stir orange juice, peel, and salsa verde into soup; heat through. If desired, top with sour cream. Sprinkle with cilantro and cayenne pepper.

WHITE BEAN AND CHORIZO SOUP

Steps:

• In a large pan, heat the olive oil over high heat, and saute the sausage, until it crisps, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drain the pieces on a paper towel, and set aside.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the onion and celery to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, about 6 to 7 minutes. Add in the garlic, thyme, and paprika and continue cooking and stirring, until the herbs are fragrant, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for another minute. Return the chorizo to the pan along with the stock. Bring the liquid to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes. Add in the beans and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Season the soup with the sea salt and black pepper before serving.

CROCK POT OR SLOW COOKER MEXICAN CHICKEN WHITE BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Cover the beans with water, bring to a boil, cover, turn off the heat and let stand one hour.
• Drain the beans and add to crock pot.
• Add the rest of the ingredients, add enough water to just cover everything. Cover the pot, turn to high and walk away.
• Cook about 5 hours on high, or longer on low, depending on your beans and how firm you like them.
• Cut the chicken into bite-sized chunks.
• Serve topped with sour cream, grated cheese and/or chopped avocado.
• Note: I also add 1-2 teaspoons of a seasoning I buy in the local Mexican market called "Sal/Chile/Limon" - you could just add lemon juice, salt and more chile powder, lemon pepper, if you like - it's not essential.
