Mexican White Bean Soup

Some days call for a hearty bowl of soups that warms your belly and calms your body. Soups have such a unique ability to fill you and this recipe for Mexican White Bean Soup will do just that! The beans and beef combine so well in a broth that is packed with flavor and a little bite of kick from the jalapeno!

The star of this soup is the seasoning. The combination of smoky cumin and chili powder and the spicy heat of the jalapeno give a depth of flavor in the broth for this soup. You are going to be amazed by the layers. I used a cannelloni beans because they have a very mild flavor on their own but still hold up to bold flavors of a soup like this.

I went with a ground beef for this soup, but you could use a ground turkey or chicken or even a pork. It is very similar to a chili, which is why I selected beef for my recipe. I also used a hot taco sauce but you could use a mild or medium, just make sure it’s a red sauce. The zing of the green sauce would not mesh well with the rest of this soup – though that could be a different avenue to try for another day.

I served this with my kicked up cheesy cornbread (sounds fancier than it is). All you do is make your favorite cornbread mix as directed, then add in a 4oz can of green chilies and a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Bake as directed on the mix and serve it up with the soup.
