Refried Bean Beef Soup, 11 gram protein meal

This soup is thick with lovely textures and high in nutrients.   I like to add a tablespoon of avocado cubes into the soup, so you can freeze the cubes with the soup portions; It will not turn brown, so long as it is covered in liquid while freezing. Refried Bean Soup

Ingredients: 

  • 4 Tablespoons Green Chili Peppers (10c)
  • 1 medium tomato (1g, 22c)
  • 1 small onion (1g, 20c)

  • 2 cups clear chicken broth (12g, 172c).
  • ½ packet taco seasoning
  • 1 can (11 oz) Mexican style corn with red & green peppers, or plain can corn corn (8g,320c)

Yields: 9 portions, 4 ounces each  (9 grams protein per portion, 176 calories).
