Hola Chicos,

My three bean soup is hearty, delicious and a great protein filled meal that even carnivores devour. Its filled with you guest it three beans. Even the most inexperienced person in the kitchen can make this dish taste delicious.

I like to use my home made Italian red sauce as the salsa, a little fromage, some crispy bread and there you have it. A delicious supper, lunch or late night meal all in one pot.

Prep time: less than 30 minutes

Cook time: less than 30 minutes

Serves: 8 to 10 people

What you’ll need:

1. Soup pot or large pot that can hold several cups of liquid.
2. 3 cans of your favorite legumes; chic peas, lentils, pinto beans etc. rinsed.
3. Any one of my favorite home made salsas; Italian Red Salsa or Mexican Salsa.
4. Fresh or frozen red and green bell peppers: diced.
5. 1 large purple onion or any onion you have in hand: diced.
6. A few cups of warm water or if you have home-made vegetarian broth the better.

8. A few table spoons of dried red pepper flakes
9. Crushed sea salt and black pepper corn to your taste preference.
10. Some cheese for garnish
11. A little Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a few splashes of Red Wine Vinegar or any Vinegar on hand for garnish
12. Some day old bread

What to do:

1. In the soup pot, bring a few cups of liquid to medium heat.

3. Add the rinsed 3 legumes to pot stir gently ensuring that the beans do not get crushed.
4. Add any one of my two home made salsas.
5. Let sit for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
6. Add the red and green bell peppers and diced onions.
7. Let sit for about 10 minutes more on low heat.
8. Add the dried red peppers
9. Some crushed sea salt and black pepper corns
10. After about 20-25 minutes turn off heat, let cool a bit, and serve with a garnish of cheese, day old bread, extra virgin olive oil and few splashes of vinegars.
