I got this recipe somewhere on these boards but it bears repeating. I could eat this stuff every day... yummy and filling, too!

5-can soup

1 can reduced fat chicken broth
1 can ff refried beans
1 can rotel tomatoes w/chilies (drained)
1 can kidney beans (drained)
1 can black beans (drained)
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, cooked and cubed

Mix all ingredients in a stock pot, heat and eat!! Add herbs or other seasonings to taste (but the spicy rotel tomatoes gives it a kick).

HTH someone~

I've had this soup before it's really good. Quick and easy too. You should put it in Burdle's Bean Thread!

Do the refried beans dissolve a bit? That just looks strange to me? Do they just become a creamy texture in the soup? Sounds yummy, but dangerous to those around you!

Yes, the refried beans just seem to thicken the soup and make it creamier. The first time I tried to make it I didn't have refried beans and while it was still good, it is better with the refried...

Strangely, I have found that this soup has not made me gassy. Really!!

Can I just say, "Yum!!!!"? I opened a can of navy beans by mistake and so I just threw those in there too, and I only had a can of Rotel tomatoes with chiles & lime & cilantro and threw in a bit of garlic. I'm thinking this is going to be quite the staple for this fall and winter.

Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you!!!

I just made this. Excellent! I made two substitutions. One, because my mother (the "it's too peppery" policewoman) is here, I used a can of fire-roasted chopped tomatoes instead of the rotels :cry:

(but the smokey flavor is nice!) And, because of a lack of cooked chicken, I put in half a ham steak all chopped up (I probably should have only used 1/4, but I got carried away.) So good!

I made it too today for lunch it is great and easy. I stuck to the recipe for the first time to see what to add next time and not much I will change except I did put a small spoon of FF sour cream in it but it was good before and with the sour cream thanks for sharing.

Sounds great but what are rotel tomatoes?

It may be regional, but Rotel is a brand of canned tomatoes... they have chilis in them so they are a lot spicier than regular chopped tomatoes in a can. You could always use regular tomatoes and add canned or jarred chilis or jalapenos or other spicy stuff.

Thanks for the Rotel description.
I'm in England and a lot of the recipes on this forum have, what seem to me, unusual ingredients - which are probably American names or brands.
Cheers (as we say here.)

I make a similar (can based) soup. the family calls it Mom's quick Minnestronne

1 can diced or stewed tomatoes w/ water
1 can green beans w/ water
1 can beans (I prefer black)drained & rinsed
1 can or 1/2 bag mixed veggies
3c water
3 bullion cubes or equv in powder
carrot, cut into small slices
mushroom cut into slices (optional)
onion
oregano
parsley
2 oz pasta of small pieces or broken up

Toss all into a pot and simmer 15 ish minutes

I generally serve this with a green salad and spinich bread (NOT SBD friedly but I am willing to share.

Even my late hubby, the original "wheres the meat" person accepted this as a compl3te dinner. I can hardly wait til it cools down here in metro Chicago and I can do this again to cover a couple meals in a week.

Rotel is a brand of tomatoes like Contadina or Hunts. Their tomatoes are canned southwestern style with chiles and what have yous. The flavors are on the cans.
