A hearty and flavorful soup made with pinto beans, tomatoes, and aromatic spices, perfect for a comforting meal.
Heat a soup pot over medium heat and add a splash of water.
Using water instead of oil keeps the recipe lighter and healthier.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Add the diced fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes, cooked pinto beans, cumin, and oregano to the pot.
Crush the canned tomatoes slightly with the spoon for a more rustic texture.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer, partially covered, for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom.
Blend the soup in batches until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Be cautious when blending hot liquids; allow some steam to escape.
Season the soup with salt to taste and keep warm until serving.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed for the perfect flavor.
