• Add this mixture to drained beans.
• Pour enough water to reach within 3 inches of top of pot.

• When soup is about ready to serve, use a potato masher to crush up some of the beans to make a thicker soup.

VEGAN SLOW-COOKER PINTO BEANS

Steps:

• Spray the slow-cooker with cooking spray. Rinse and sort the beans, add to the prepared slow-cooker.
• Add all the spices and the olive oil to the beans. Stir until every bean is coated with the spice mixture.

PINTO BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat for 1 minute.
• Add the onion and stir to coat. Continue to cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the garlic and cumin and continue to cook for 1 minute.
• Add the vegetable broth, tomatoes, and pinto beans and bring to a boil.
• Reduce to a simmer and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
• Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until you've reached your desired consistency. I like to leave it a little bit chunky. Alternatively, if you don't have an immersion blender you can transfer 3 cups of soup to a blender and blend until smooth. Be careful when transferring hot liquid and be sure to allow steam to escape from the blender.
• Add salt and lime juice, then divide into bowls.
• Top with jalapeño, tortilla chips, tomatoes, or other desired toppings.

CREAMY PINTO BEAN POTATO SOUP (VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Wash everything and cut. Place everything except the spinach into a large pot and let simmer until the carrots and potatoes are soft.
• Instant pot: Stew - high - 5 minutes.
• Use a hand blender and press into to the soup 3-5 times. This will make it creamy, but still leaves mostly chunks.
• Then add the spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted.
• Add more spices as desired.

PINTO BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• You can watch the video in the post for visual instructions.Heat oil in a large pot over medium/high heat. Add onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the roasted tomatoes, garlic, carrots, potato, and all spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then pour in the vegetable broth (I also added 2 bay leaves for flavor).
• Bring the soup to a boil and let it simmer with a lid for about 10-15 minutes. Add in the pinto beans and cook for a further 10 minutes or until the veggies are softened, stirring from time to time. Then turn off the heat.
• You can add more veggie broth or water if you notice that too much liquid evaporated.
• I poured about 50% of the soup into a different pot and used an immersion blender to blend it. You can also fill about half of the soup into a blender and blend it to the desired consistency.
• Then pour the blended soup back into the large pot and stir to combine. Taste it and add more salt/pepper/spices if needed. You can also add a little lime juice.
• Serve in bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy!
