Sopa De Frijoles Con Huevos (Bean and Egg Soup) image

This recipe is very simple and budget friendly. Many of the basic kitchen staples used in many central american countries are included in this recipe. During cold winter months, I always use this recipe as a back up in case I get stumped as to what to make for lunch or dinner

Categories     Beans

Time 25m

Yield 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 large eggs
2 cups of cooked pinto beans
cilantro, a couple of sprigs
1/4 cup chopped green bell pepper
1/4 cup chopped white onion
1 jalapeno, cut down the middle and seeded
1 cube chicken bouillon or 1 tablespoon powder chicken bouillon
1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
salt
pepper
Tabasco sauce, a couple of shakes (optional)
1 1/2 cups cooked white rice
3 -4 cups water

Steps:

  • In a large pot on medium high, heat up the oil and then saute the onions and bell pepper.
  • Add the beans, add about 3 cups water (atleast double the height of the beans, there should be enough room for eggs to generously fit on top of the beans and still have water above them). Add the jalapeno, chicken bullion, pepper and any more salt if needed. Add Tabasco to your taste if you desire.
  • Bring to a rapid boil then lower heat to medium. Before going to the next step, make sure that there will be enough water in the pot, above the beans, to cover eggs when they are dropped inches If the water level looks too low, add a little more water.
  • Gently crack eggs and DROP into the pot, starting at the edge first and then cracking/dropping the rest of the eggs around the edge until you reach the center. The eggs should not touch each other. Cover and let simmer for about 10 mins or until the yolk is set. Sprinkle the cilantro leaves on top of the soup the last couple of minutes of cookin.
  • To serve, put about 1/2 cup rice on the bottom of a soup bowl and laddle soup on top of rice (carefully placing the 2 eggs on top). Serv with warm corn tortillas.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my soup turned out really watery. I think I might have added too much water.

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but it's still very good. I added some sour cream and it helped to tone down the heat.

This soup was a disaster! The beans were hard and the broth was watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This soup was a bit bland for my taste. I added some chili powder and cumin and it was much better. I also used chicken broth instead of water.
