I found this is a stack of old handwritten recipes. I probably copied it from the Houston Chronicle?? I have not made this at home yet, so serving size and prep time are a guess. Also, I personally would drain some of the bacon fat and add the salt to taste, but I am listing it how it was originally written. Please note these beans should soak for 8 hours, so plan ahead.

Tips:

  • Use dried pinto beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and have a better texture than canned beans. If you use canned beans, be sure to rinse them well before using.
  • Soak the beans overnight: Soaking the beans overnight helps to soften them and reduce the cooking time. You can also quick-soak the beans by boiling them for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Use a flavorful broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a flavorful broth. You can use chicken broth, vegetable broth, or even water. If you use water, you may want to add some bouillon cubes or other seasonings to give it more flavor.
  • Add vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to the soup. You can add any vegetables you like, but some good options include onions, carrots, celery, and tomatoes.
  • Season the soup: Be sure to season the soup to taste. You can add salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve with toppings: Pinto bean soup is often served with toppings such as sour cream, shredded cheese, diced avocado, and chopped cilantro. You can also serve it with a side of cornbread or tortillas.

Conclusion:

Pinto bean soup is a delicious, hearty, and affordable soup that is perfect for a cold day. It is also a great way to use up leftover pinto beans. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can make a pot of pinto bean soup that your family and friends will love.
