How to Make Pinto Bean And Corn Soup

  1. In a large Dutch oven, combine 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans (or 1 ½ cups cooked dried pinto beans), 6 cups vegetable or chicken stock, and 2 sprigs fresh thyme.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 45-60 minutes, or until beans are tender. (Dried beans will take longer.)
  3. Remove about 1 cup of cooked beans and mash them thoroughly with a fork.
  4. Stir the mashed beans back into the pot. Add 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), 1 cup chopped celery, and 1 cup frozen or fresh corn kernels.
  5. Bring the soup back to a simmer, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for another 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche (optional) and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro (optional). Enjoy with a side of crusty bread!
