🥗Healthier: pinto beans

💰Cheaper: canned black beans

Pinto beans are often lower in cost and can be used interchangeably.

Open a pint jar of home canned black beans and pour them into a pan with their juices.

Add 1/4 cup each of sliced onion, diced carrots, red bell pepper, and celery to the pan.

Add a heaping teaspoon of dehydrated garlic to the mixture.

Pour in a scant cup of beef and wine broth with garlic seasoning for moisture.

Put the pan on the stove and let the mixture heat up for a couple of minutes until the veggies are refreshed.

Use an immersion blender to puree the mixture to your desired consistency, leaving some texture if preferred.

Rinse a portion of the black beans and add them to the pureed mixture.

Dish up the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream and green onion tops.

Optionally, add fresh cilantro and lime juice to enhance flavor.
