Pinto Bean Soup

(great way to use leftover beans.)

( Canned beans will be disappointing as they do not have enough flavor)

3 cups cooked leftover beans with liquid 
1 onion chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon oil
6 cups of chicken stock
Salt to taste
Dash of Tabasco sauce

Heat oil in heavy skillet and add onions and stir and cook on medium heat until brown and carmelized. Add garlic and cook one minute more.

Add beans and onion mixture to food processor and process until smooth and creamy.

Place bean mixture in soup pot and add chicken stock. Salt the soup and add a shake of hot sauce. If too thick, thin with bean liquid or stock until a cream-like consistency. Let soup simmer on low for 15 minutes. Serve with garnishes.

Garnishes:
Corn tortillas cut into thin strips and fried
Pico de Gallo
Avocado, chopped
Monterey Jack cheese cut in small chunks
