Ingredients
-
1 pound dried pinto beans, soaked overnight
-
2 tablespoons canola oil
-
1 ½ cups diced onions
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
2 teaspoons ground cumin
-
1 teaspoon chili powder
-
6 cups water
-
3 dried ancho chiles (see Tip), stemmed and seeded
-
1 (28 ounce) can whole tomatoes
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
-
1 ripe avocado, sliced
-
Crumbled queso fresco, lime wedges & tortilla chips for garnish
Directions
-
Drain and rinse beans.
-
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic, cumin and chili powder; cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the drained beans and water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the beans are tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
-
Meanwhile, soak chiles in boiling water until the skins have softened, about 15 minutes. Drain and chop.
-
Add the chiles, tomatoes and their juice, salt and pepper to the beans. Puree the soup in a regular blender (in batches, if necessary) until very smooth. (Use caution when blending hot liquids.) Serve topped with avocado and garnished with queso fresco, limes and tortilla chips, if desired.
Tips
Tip: Ancho chiles are dried poblanos--the glossy, dark green chiles traditionally used in chiles rellenos. Anchos have a fruity, moderately spicy and slightly smoky flavor.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.
* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
