3-CAN TOMATO VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the olive oil, Italian seasoning, and onion powder in a medium saucepan over low heat. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, until the spices infuse into the oil, about 5 minutes.
• Add the mixed vegetables, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper. Increase the heat to medium and cook, stirring occasionally, until everything is well- coated, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the tomatoes with their juices, then fill the empty can halfway with water; swirl and add to the soup. Add one-third of the beans along with half their liquid. Simmer for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mash the remaining beans and their liquid with a fork directly in the can until slightly smooth; stir into the soup. Add 2 tablespoons water to the empty can, scrape with a rubber spatula to release any mashed beans, then stir into the soup. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide among bowls and enjoy.

3 CAN SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Combine beans, stewed tomatoes. Drain corn and mix in with the others. Heat on stove top until warm.
• 2. If Southwestern beans are not available, add chili powder and cumin to plain black beans to taste. Stewed tomatoes work best, as their flavor is already developed and doesn't need cooking.
• 3. The basic mix is great on its own. I serve it with warm tortillas. Other additions such as onions, cilantro, sour cream, or shredded cheese can be added individually.

THREE BEAN SOUP

Steps:
