Sunday Lunch Bean & Corn Soup

EdsGirlAngie's Note:

I made up this soup one day when I wanted something fast but homemade and tasty. You can substitute other smoked sausage or even chorizo, but this is what I had on hand and what was used in the recipe. I like to crumble corn chips in this soup and it's good with a little sour cream, too.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 20 mins
• Cook Time: 45 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 2 cups chicken broth or 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 cups water

3. Combine thoroughly and simmer together for 30 to 45 minutes.
4. Serve with corn chips and a little sour cream on the side.

Very good and satisfying soup! Quick to put together and I almost always have these ingredients on hand, which is a plus. We ate this with crushed tortilla chips and light sour cream. I will definitely be making this again!

Mmmmmm! This was good! Thanks for a different and satisfying weekday lunch. We ate this with Fritos and it was delicious!

This recipe was VERY easy. I used chicken as I didn't have any sausage on hand but I don't think my taste buds suffered one bit! I put all the ingredients into the pot and fed my 1 year old daughter. By the time she was done eating and ready for her bath, the soup was ready! I put her to sleep and my hubby and I had a lovely dinner together. Thanks for a great night at home! The soup was delicious and we will DEFINATLEY make it again! (loved the touch of cumin by the way!)
