Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups dry pinto beans
5 cups cold water
2 14 ounce can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 large onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 14 1/2 ounce can fire-roasted diced tomatoes, undrained
Shredded reduced-fat Monterey Jack cheese (optional)
Snipped fresh cilantro and/or sliced green onions (optional)
Desired crackers (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Rinse dry beans. In a Dutch oven combine rinsed beans and the 5 cups cold water. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse beans. 2. In a 3-1/2- or 4-quart slow cooker combine beans, broth, the 1/2 cup water, the onion, garlic, cumin, and cayenne pepper. 3. Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 8 to 10 hours or on high-heat setting for 4 to 5 hours. 4. Stir in undrained tomatoes; cover and cook for 30 minutes more. If desired, partially mash mixture with a potato masher, leaving soup chunky. If desired, top individual servings with cheese and cilantro and serve with crackers.
