Chipotle Bean Soup Recipe

Chipotle Bean Soup

I had some beans, and I had a couple of dried chipotles and some Ro-Tel. This is what I came up with. I get my beans from Rancho Gordo; for this I used a large white bean from there and a can of cannellini. But you can use whatever beans you find in the pantry. Pintos would work, black beans would work .....

I also use low sodium stock because I like to control as much as possible in life, and I had some baby carrots left from a grandchild visit so I sliced those. With larger carrots, just chop them up to a reasonable size. I chose Mexican Oregano. Also it seems CES doesn't know about Ro-Tel, but an entire can is only 50 calories so it won't make much difference in calorie count/serving if you're thinking about that, which I always am.
