This rice and bean soup is comforting, filling, and full of flavor. I like to top this dish with chorizo, diced avocado and fresh cilantro.
I’m a huge fan of soups and it’s one of my all-time favorite dishes during the fall and winter season. This Rise and beans Soup was a staple at my grandmother’s house when I was a child. Mamita prepared the most amazing food!
