2 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.

Ingredients

1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup fresh baby carrots, cut into 1/4-inch slices
1 can (15 ounces) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup chunky salsa
1/3 cup self-rising flour
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons shredded cheddar cheese

Directions

In a large saucepan coated with cooking spray, saute onion and carrots until tender. Stir in the beans, broth and salsa. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 3-5 minutes or until reduced slightly.
For dumplings, in a small bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal and salt. Stir in milk and cheese just until moistened. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto simmering soup. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center of a dumpling comes out clean (do not lift cover while simmering). Yield: 2 servings.

Editor’s Note: As a substitute for 1/3 cup of self-rising flour, place 1/2 teaspoon baking powder and 1/8 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1/3 cup.

Keep Onion Handy

I keep a peeled onion in a glass jar in my refrigerator. It’s handy when I need a small amount of chopped onion for a recipe or my husband wants a slice of onion on his hamburger. It stays fresh in the jar, eliminating waste. —Dorothy G., Tewksbury, Massachusetts
