My daughter brought home a book from the library that talked about "Mud Soup" and gave a recipe at the back. It's a little plainer than this one and used dry beans soaked overnight first. I added added the garlic and cumin this recipe calls for and also did the blending to smooth the soup a little. Added shredded cheese and sour cream at the table. Served with Quick Soft Breadsticks for a delicious meal!

This was pretty good and very easy to make. I did not use the red onion but we topped ours with shredded cheddar cheese and light sour cream. I think if I made this again I would add some salsa to the blender.

I used chicken broth in this soup and increased the amount of cumin. Topped with red onion and cilantro, this is a perfectly simple soup with tons of flavor. It is a great bonus that the prep was so simple.
