Refried Bean Soup

1 can fat free refried beans
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 tablespoon dehydrated onions
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon cinnamon
Water

Combine all ingredients with enough water to make it soupy.  Heat for five minutes and serve over rice or potatoes.

Letha, did you make up this recipe or find it somewhere? It looks good - I think I'll try it. I was wondering if there is a reason not to use real onion. Thanks, LauraA

Sounds tasty! Do you drain the corn before you add it?

[Letha]

Veggiesmack, Yes, I drain the corn. 

LauraA, I got some version of this recipe from somewhere else that I don’t recall.  This is a very easy version that you can make in about five minutes. The dried onions are just faster then chopping fresh.  But this soup is amazingly versatile in that you can add in all kinds of leftover veggies or grains or beans or chopped spinach or other seasonings you like better.  I’ve made a similar soup with curry powder that was good.  I think starting with sautéed (in water) onions would make it much better.  Leftover salsa or fresh tomatoes in lieu of the canned tomatoes would also be good.  I think I’m starting to ramble so I’ll wrap this up.

This looks so good and has all my fave ingredients. If I hadn't just eaten a can of refried beans topped with salad, I would try it right now! Will try it soon, thanks.
