"This recipe comes from Momma Pat's cookbook. It is very good with chicken added, but I am adding it here as is, just with beans."

Cut this down for three of us and there was still plenty...of course we had sandwiches to go along (too much at one time). I did add a little jalapeno and some chicken along with the other ingredients. I topped the soup with green onions, some shredded cheddar cheese and chopped avocados...DELICIOUS. Thank you for a wonderful dish. Made for Spring PAC 2011.

Very good soup! And yes, it would be good with chicken too, but it's plenty hearty without it. It'll make a great recipe for a busy, nothing-in-the-fridge kind of day. I added salt and pepper and didn't put the tortilla chips in the pan, as I was transporting the soup across the city, to my cousin's house and I didn't want them to turn to mush before we sat down to eat. We all just crushed up a few in our bowls.The only change I would make next time is to add more chili powder, for a little extra kick. Thanks for sharing Momma Pat's recipe, Jonesy! Made and enjoyed for Spring 2011 Pick A Chef. You've been adopted! :)

I love to cook, but especially I love to bake! I am interested in the chemistry of foods (gastronomy?) and how certain things work together. I am a wife, mother and tea consultant! I sell tea and tea accessories at home parties to make friends (and the money's good too)
