Ingredients
- 1 can of undrained diced tomatoes, 28 ounces in size,
- 1 can of kidney beans, 15 ounces, rinsed and drained with pride,
- 1 can of black beans, 15 ounces, washed and drained well,
- 1 can of corn, the golden kernels, a delight to tell,
- 1 can of vegetable broth, 14.5 ounces, your soup's base,
- 3 carrots, chopped finely, to add color and grace,
- 2 celery stalks, chopped, a crunch in every bite,
- ½ onion, diced, to bring a hint of sweetness so right,
- 1 tablespoon of chili powder, or more to your liking,
- 1 clove of garlic, minced, for a flavor striking,
- 1 cup of Mexican cheese blend, shredded with care,
- ¼ cup of sour cream, a dollop to top and share.
Step 1
Combine a medley of juicy tomatoes, hearty kidney beans, savory black beans, sweet corn, nutritious vegetable broth, crunchy carrots, aromatic celery, pungent onion, zesty chili powder, and fragrant garlic in a generous saucepan. Allow the flavors to meld as you cover the pan and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Lower the heat and let the chili-soup simmer until the veggies reach a tender perfection, typically around 30 minutes.
Step 2
Serve this comforting chili-soup in four individual bowls, generously sprinkling each portion with a quarter cup of Mexican cheese blend and a dollop of tangy sour cream on top. Enjoy the delightful blend of textures and flavors in every spoonful!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
