Ingredients to Make This Easy and Hearty Soup Recipe

Ingredients for our easy and hearty soup recipe, canned tomatoes with chipotle peppers, can refried beans, chicken broth, canned chicken breast and canned corn.

The base of this soup recipe is made with chicken or vegetable broth and refried beans.

I prefer the taste of black refried beans to pinto, but either is great!

The combination of these two basic ingredients will give this soup recipe a thick and creamy base.

Next you need canned tomatoes with peppers.

For a more zippier soup add tomatoes with chipotle peppers or tomatoes with jalapeños.

But if you’d like a more mild soup, use a can of RoTel tomatoes with diced green chilies.

Canned tomatoes with chipotle peppers and RoTel diced tomatoes & green chilies.

And the final ingredients in our hearty soup are canned corn and canned chicken breast.

That’s it!

It’s really that easy.

And the best thing is, you can keep these basic 5 ingredients in your pantry for a delicious and fast dinner any time!

Just serve it with a green salad and a slice of toast and you’ve got a complete and satisfying meal in a manner of minutes.

Is the Soup Adaptable for Vegans or Vegetarians

Yes, this soup is suitable for vegans and vegetarians!

In fact, all you need to do is substitute the chicken broth with vegetable broth and leave out the chicken breast.

If you want to up the protein in this soup recipe you may also add a can of black beans.

The rest of the ingredients are vegan-friendly, so this soup will be a delicious, hearty meal that everyone can enjoy regardless of their dietary preference.

How Do You Make a Soup More Hearty?

If you’re looking to make your soup even more hearty, there are several ingredients that can help.

You could add in some cooked beans or lentils for extra protein and fiber, or stir in some chopped vegetables such as carrots, celery and onions.

If you’re feeling adventurous, why not try adding diced sweet potato for an extra dose of comfort.

You could even top the soup with some shredded cheese, tortilla chips or crispy bacon for an extra indulgent touch.

Preparing the Soup Recipe

Stir and incorporate canned refried beans into the chicken broth and tomatoes.

This may be the easiest soup recipe you’ll make.

First, you’ll want to combine the broth and refried beans in a pan over medium heat.

Stir until the refried beans and broth are incorporated.

Combine 5 ingredients for the soup and heat until hot and ready to serve.

Then add in the tomatoes with peppers, corn and chicken breast.

Heat and serve

That’s it, it’s just that simple.

This soup recipe is easily adaptable as well.

If you have leftover chicken, use that instead of canned chicken.

Likewise, you can used fresh or frozen corn instead of canned or try another vegetable all together.

And this soup recipe is also delicious when made without the corn or chicken.

It’s really a versatile recipe!
