Ingredients

  • 3 flour tortillas (6 inches), cut into 1-inch strips
  • 1/4 cup chicken drippings, optional
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 3/4 cup finely chopped carrot
  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) beef broth

Added a dash of chili powder and a little less cumin to an otherwise outstanding recipe. Don't overlook the tortillas. The crunchy taste was a terrific complement to the soup. Try giving them a very light coating of cooking spray with a dusting of chili powder or any other flavor before baking. Oh Yeah!
