Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Wash and dry produce.

  • Halve, peel, and dice onion. Core, deseed, and finely dice green pepper.

Cook Veggies
2
  • Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot (use a large pot for 4 servings) over medium-high heat. Add onion and green pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and softened, 5-7 minutes.

  • Stir in crushed tomatoes and Southwest Spice Blend until combined; cook until fragrant, 1 minute.

Simmer Soup
3
  • Stir beans and their liquid, Tex-Mex paste, stock concentrate, and ½ cup water (1 cup for 4 servings) into pot with veggies.

  • Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium low. Cook, stirring often, until flavors meld and soup has slightly thickened, 8-10 minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper. TIP: Add a splash more water if the soup ends up thicker than you like.

Finish & Serve
4
  • Meanwhile, pick cilantro leaves from stems.

  • Divide soup between bowls and dollop with sour cream. Sprinkle with Monterey Jack and cilantro leaves. Serve with tortilla chips on the side for dipping.
