Preparation

Step 1

Drain the dry beans and rinse well. Put everything into a 6 quart or larger crock pot. Cook on HIGH for 8 - 10 hours.

Serve with tortilla chips, sour cream and grated cheese. I also made Mexican cornbread muffins to serve with this soup on the second night. We definitely will be making this again and again throughout the cold months.

**NOTES**
*You could use canned beans in place of the dry. One cup of dried beans approximately equals a 15 ounce can of beans. If you use canned beans you can cut your cook time and or temperature.
*You could also cook this on low, but if using dry beans would increase the cook time dramatically.
*I mixed a packet (1 ounce) of dry ranch dressing mix with a container of sour cream to top this with. It cut the slight heat from the chiles and spices perfectly.
*Easily meat could be added. We personally thought that the flavors were so robust it wasn't necessary to add any meat. Chicken or ground beef could be added though :o)
