Corn and bean chili
This snow keeps giving me soup and muffin cravings. Here is another hit soup that I concocted by grazing on a few recipes. The base recipe is linked below, but I did change it up a bit. I like mine. It's a huge protein and fiber boost and it tastes soooo good! Satisfaction guaranteed!
Ingredients:
-1 tsp onion powder
-1 tsp garlic powder
-2 tsp chili powder
-1 tsp cumin
-1/4 tsp ground black pepper
-1 can (15 oz) pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
-1 can (15 oz) kidney beans (rinsed and drained)
-1 can (8 oz) no salt added corn (do not drain)
-1 can (12 oz) diced tomatoes (drained)
-1 can tomato paste
-1 individual serving baby carrots (35 calories worth)
-2.5 cups water
Directions:
-Chop and steam baby carrots (not too mushy though)
-In a large saucepan on low heat, combine carrots, corn tomato paste
-Add tomatoes and beans and stir
-Add water and stir
-Add spices and stir
-Bring to a bowl, stirring frequently
-Simmer for 10-15 minutes
-Makes 4 servings

This is a thick and hearty chili and is just delicious on a cold day. Maybe add it to your Super Bowl menu?
