Cosy Autumnal recipe incoming! 🍁 🫘


This spicy and Smokey Mexican bean soup is perfect for a midweek dinner, and it’s super simple to make. 🇲🇽 I whipped this together in 40 minutes, and most of that time is just simmering, so it’s the perfect dinner if you’ve got things to be doing.


I love cooking with the spices and flavours of Mexican cuisine. They pack such a punch to awaken the mouth. These flavours in a healthy soup works perfectly! Filled with beans corn and some sweet potato pieces, this dish is everything you want in a soup!
