Ingredients

Here is a breakdown of the ingredients you will need to make this salsa soup. For quantities and full instructions, scroll down to the recipe box below.

• Rice: Pick a rice that will be cooked after 20-30 minutes of simmering. I usually use parboiled rice for this soup.
• Black beans: You'll need to use black beans that are already cooked. Using canned will be easiest, or if you already have some leftover black beans that you've cooked, you can use those.
• Corn: You will need frozen corn for this soup.
• Canned crushed tomatoes
• Chili powder: This should be a blend of spices, not just ground chili peppers.
• Ground black pepper
• Smoked paprika
• Ground oregano
• Garlic powder
• Salsa: I recommend using a medium heat salsa.
• Vegetable broth

How to make this salsa soup

This is one of the easiest recipes ever! All you need to do is put all ingredients into a large pot, mix everything together, then heat it up!

You’ll need to cover the pot, bring to a boil, then lower the heat to simmer for 20 minutes.

Tips

• Use a rice that takes about 20-30 minutes to cook. Parboiled rice is perfect for this.
• Use a broth powder to save money on vegetable broth. The cartons are more expensive and often contain added oil.
• I like using a salsa that is medium heat, which I find gives this soup a bit of spice, but not too much. If you don’t want much spice, go with a mild salsa.
• After making this salsa soup, it will thicken up over time as it cools. If you want to thin it back out into a soup texture, mix in some water until the texture you want is achieved.
