Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, chopped
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 15-ounce can diced tomatoes with green chiles
1 15-ounce can no-salt-added black beans, drained and rinsed
1 15-ounce can no-salt-added pinto beans (do not drain)
1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice, thawed if frozen
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, roughly chopped
8 corn tortillas
1/2 cup shredded low-fat cheddar cheese (about 2 ounces)

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; cook until lightly toasted, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes, black beans, pinto beans and 6 cups water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and stir. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 15 minutes.
  • Remove 1/2 cup of the bean mixture to a bowl using a slotted spoon; mash with a fork, then return to the pot along with the rice and 1/4 cup cilantro. Cook until the soup thickens, about 5 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or wrap in damp paper towels and microwave; wrap in foil to keep warm.
  • Top each serving of soup with the cheese and the remaining 1/4 cup cilantro. Serve with the warm tortillas.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't have much flavor.

This soup was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I would make it again, but I would use less chili powder next time.

This soup was just okay. I found it to be a bit bland, even though I added extra spices. I also thought the rice was a bit too mushy.

This was a great recipe. I used black beans instead of pinto beans, and it was still delicious. I also added a can of corn, which gave the soup a nice sweetness.
