Spicy Mexican Bean and Vegetable Soup recipe by Barefeet In The Kitchen

This is a spicy tomato based soup, loaded with fresh vegetables, sausage and two kinds of beans. This soup came together in well under an hour and it was a delicious and simple meal to start our vacation.

Arizona weather is all over the place these days. From 100+ days to the slightly chilly weather (just to clarify, anything under 65 qualifies as chilly for me!) at night, I realized today that I made everything from ice cream to soup this past week.

Apparently, I can’t decide what I’m in the mood for either.

I randomly decided to toss in a good amount of my favorite Mexican Spice Blend and I’m so glad that I did. I absolutely loved the heat in this soup and can’t believe I hadn’t thought of adding it to more soups this past year.

I already have several ideas for dishes next winter, as I’m thinking that this will likely be the last of our hot soups this year.
