Another wonderful recipe's from Ninfa's restaurant, a legendary Mexican restaurant chain in the Houston area. This is usually served as a side with their fajitas.I found this in the food section of the Houston Chronicle.This doubles or triples well and freezes beautifully.

This recipe is way too spicy for my taste. I had to add a lot of sour cream to make it edible.

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The soup was bland and the beans were undercooked. I would not recommend this recipe.

I've made this soup several times now and it's always a hit. It's so easy to make and the leftovers are even better the next day. I like to add a bit of extra spice by adding a diced jalapeño pepper. Yum!
