Mexican Rice Soup

Built to satisfy, this scrumptious three-bean soup is easy to modify, so you can use ingredients you have on hand.

Since this is such a thick soup, I like to have this rolled up in a tortilla for leftovers the next day. This recipe also lends itself well to using different ingredients that you have on hand. Switch up the beans, use some roasted corn, or add some kale. If you don’t want it to be so thick, add some additional stock or water. Enjoy with the topping of your choice. We like chopped tomatoes, sliced scallions, salsa, and baked tortilla chips.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. In a large saucepan, sauté the onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon low-sodium vegetable stock or water over medium-high heat for 7 minutes.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 25-30 minutes.
3. Season to taste.
4. Serve with toppings of your choice, or the ones listed above.
   Note: To toast the rice, put the uncooked grain in a nonstick pan preheated to medium-high and stir constantly for about 5 minutes, or until it is lightly browned.

Mango Salsa

This sun-kissed mango salsa tastes every bit as good as it looks. Dial the heat up or down by controlling how much fresh jalapeño pepper you use.

We use this tropical salsa on our Polenta with Black Beans, and it is also a great condiment for other Mexican recipes. For a snack, try rolling up a warm corn tortilla and using it to scoop up some of this flavorful salsa.

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Put the mango, onion, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and vinegar into a bowl.
2. Add 1 tablespoon of warm tap water and stir to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or up to 1 week before serving.
