    This creamy beans soup is a traditional Colombian dish. It's comforting and with a lot of flavor and it can be made in advance.

    Crema de FrisolesPin

    This is a quick version of the traditional Crema de Frisoles. In Colombia we usually cook bean soup from scratch, but sometimes I crave soups and I don't have time to cook the beans for a long time. This is when I break out my canned beans!

    Crema de FrisolesPin

    This red bean soup takes literally 25 minutes to prepare and cook. I added chorizo, but you can be creative and add bacon, ham or another kind of meat. For a vegetarian version just use some corn instead, which also makes for a nice garnish.

    Enjoy!

      What a beautiful bowl of soup! Reminds me of this Portuguese place with their Kale soup and chorizo on top, ummm girl you make me hungry. At least I had avocado and corn tortilla with beans and rice today. No meat until tomorrow...kind of on a diet, which I do not like calling it that, just healthy eating!

      My kind of soup. I don't always have chorizo on hands, but my spicy meatballs would be nice to top this up. 🙂

      I love it Erica! A creamy bean soup thickened with potato sounds so good to me right now. I just went into the pantry and found a can of red beans. I think I'm going to make a half a batch of this. Love that sliced chorizo on top!
