Mexican Rice and Bean Soup image

This hearty, winter soup uses kidney beans and other ingredients that are usually on hand. Recipe adapted from the Good Friends Cookbook. NOTE: I replace the chili powder with chipotle powder.

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb sausage, pork (I use "hot" Italian or another spicy sausage)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1/3 cup green pepper, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 cups water
1 (19 ounce) can tomato juice

1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (up to 1 teaspoon, or chipotle powder)
1 teaspoon beef bouillon

Steps:

  • Lightly brown sausage in olive oil, breaking up the meat. Spoon off all but 2 tablespoons of the fat.
  • Add onions, green peppers and garlic, cooking until the vegetables are tender, but not brown.
  • Add the water, tomato juice, beans, rice, spices and boullion.
  • Simmer, covered for 30 minutes (until rice is tender), stirring occasionally.
