Mama Bear's Mexican Trail Bean Diet Soup - a low fat, low calorie soup recipe for dieters
Low in Calories, High in Fiber, Tops in Taste!
The wonderful thing about Mama Bear's diet soup is that the cook can regulate the level of spicy heat. This diet soup is also filling, tasty, easy to make with 'normal kitchen ingredients', high in fiber, zero cholesterol, and low in calories.
For mild soup, simply omit the chili powder.
For medium heat in your soup, use only 1/2 the chili powder.
For spicy soup, prepare as directed below.
For 'blow your socks off' soup, double the chili powder and add a teaspoon of red pepper.
Mama Bear's Mexican Trail Bean Diet Soup Recipe for Three
3 cups of prepared pinto beans - with bean juice
2 Tablespoons of chili powder
1 Teaspoon of ground cumin
1/2 cup of diced onions - any variety
1/2 cup of diced bell pepper - any color
Salt & Pepper to taste
Few springs of cilantro (optional, but it bonds the soup)
2 slices of raw bacon
Drain beans from bean juice carefully, if beans are still hot. Reserve the juice in a large pot. With a potato masher, mash the beans slightly, then return to the pot with juice. Add remaining ingredients to the pot. Continue to cook the prepared beans with the seasonings, adding a bit of water if necessary. Be sure to stir often. Soup should become very thick.
Remove the bacon strips before transferring into bowls - or you can leave it in according to your personal taste. Add an additional sprig of cilantro to top of soup for presentation, if desired.
Calories: 1/3 of the recipe contains a mere 255 calories and minimal fat (from the bacon). Enjoy with a wedge of cornbread sprayed with no calorie butter. You'll feel full for hours later. Beans are packed with fiber, and fiber works to keep us filling full, longer.
