Ingredients

  • 1 can (15 oz) beans (black beans, kidney beans, or chickpeas)
  • 1 cup cooked lentils (or 1 can, drained)
  • 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded (optional)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 medium carrots, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or cilantro) for garnish
  • 1 cup frozen corn (optional)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach or kale (optional)

Instructions

  1. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Add Garlic and Spices: Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and paprika. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Combine the Base: Add the canned tomatoes (with their juice) and broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
  4. Mix in Proteins: Add the beans, lentils, and chicken (if using). Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  5. Simmer the Soup: Reduce the heat to low and let the soup simmer for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Check Seasoning and Add Greens: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. If using, stir in the frozen corn and leafy greens, cooking for an additional 5 minutes until heated through.
  7. Serve Warm: Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh herbs. Enjoy it with a side of crusty bread or your favorite toppings!
