I love Mexican chilli soup. It is such a soulful soup and is so easy and quick to prepare. The Mixed bean soup is full of proteins and I add some veggies as well to increase the fibre content in the soup.
If you have some pre-boiled beans, then this soup will take only about 15 minutes to make. So, I am not complaining, eh!
Its best had with tortillas or even with the crunchy nachos as the side. I didn’t have either so I had this with garlic bread and it was super satisfying. J How do you like your Chilli Soup?
