For a the winter “I want quick soup” mood. Everything is canned, adjust to taste.

• 1 28oz can tomatoes, whole or diced.
• 1 (14oz?) can corn
• 1 (14oz?) can whole cooked beans, drained (I use a 3 bean blend)
• 1 quart veggie broth

Conviently enough, all of the above are found in 2 aisles of Trader Joes. Finely diced potatoes can be good in this too. You may need a little more liquid if you use potatoes too.

Add the tomatoes, smoosh or cut them up if they’re whole. Add corn liquid, beans minus liquid, and broth. Simmer for 1/2 hour or so. You may need to go longer if your beans are still really firm. The tomatoes will start to break down a bit. Add the corn near the end so that it doesn’t go to mush.

Seasonings:

• Chipotle
• Salt
• Lime Juice

All to taste. Probably about a tablespoon of the lime and chipotle, a couple of teaspoons of salt. But do taste it as you go.
