One-Pot Mexican Bacon & Black Bean Soup
with Veggies, Cheddar Cheese & Corn Chips
This flavour combo is a beloved companion to many dishes like enchiladas, nachos and tacos. In the colder weather though, why not try this tomato black bean and veggie delight in a soup? It won’t disappoint, in fact it may be the new way to eat beans, veggies and cheese.
Unfortunately, this week's kidney beans were in short supply, so we've replaced them with black beans. Don’t worry, the recipe will be just as delicious, just be sure to follow your recipe card!

Instructions
• Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice celery. • Drain sweetcorn and red kidney beans.
• In a large saucepan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, celery, corn and diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until tender, 6-7 minutes. • SPICY! The spice blend is hot, use less if you're sensitive to heat. Add garlic, Mexican Fiesta spice blend and red kidney beans and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Stir in crushed & sieved tomatoes, vegetable stock powder, the water and brown sugar until combined. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium. • Simmer until slightly reduced, 2-3 minutes. • Remove saucepan from heat. Stir in the butter and season to taste.
• Divide Mexican black bean and bacon soup between bowls. • Sprinkle over shredded Cheddar cheese. • Serve with corn chips. Enjoy!
