PACE THREE BEAN CHILI CHOWDER



Pace Three Bean Chili Chowder image

I bought a Pace Picante Sauce cookbook about 15 years ago. This is my adaptation of a soup we have fallen in love with in our family!!! I've served it so many times to large crowds. Guests never miss the meat, and they love it because they can tailor it to their own tastes. As the cook, *I* love it because it's healthy, it's a SNAP to prepare and the taste is supreme!!!

1 onion, diced
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
3 can(s) beans (you pick type, rinsed and drained)
2 can(s) whole or diced tomatoes, chunky with juice
1 c picante or salsa
1 can(s) broth, chicken or vegetable (for vegetarian version)

Steps:

  • 2. I like to serve with corn bread, and garnish with some chopped green onions, shredded cheese, and sour cream.
  • 3. You can make this as spicy as your family likes by using mild, medium, or hot salsa/picante! I usually use pinto beans, black beans, and kidney beans, but you can vary to your tastes.
