Description

I LOVE this rich and hearty Mexican Bean Soup Recipe. It's the Best Mexican Bean and Veggie Soup Recipe, so delicious and easily oil free. The Authentic flavours will transport you to Mexico, black beans, pinto beans and chick peas, lots of vegetables, earthy spices and bright herbs, simmered in the most AMAZING broth. Serve it with limes, hot sauce, chopped cilantro and tortilla chips for dipping- OH MY!?
