    Bean Soup with Corn FrittersPin

    A couple of weeks ago I made one of my favorite Colombian soups from the Antioquia department of the country. A rich canary bean and pork soup topped with fried corn fritters. I like to serve it with white rice and avocado on the side.

    If you've been visiting my site for a while, you know that Colombians love homemade soups. And, if you love fresh ingredients like me, canned soups are just not for you. Let me tell you, hearty soups are simple to make at home from scratch.

    I think you'll love this soup, even on a sunny spring day!

      That sounds so good! I've never had a corn fritter, but it looks delicious. Great combination; beans are one of my favorite things to have in soup. 🙂

      This looks really good and I have the feeling it would be quite easy to make an interesting vegetarian version. Thanks for the idea! I'm going to try to make it once my kitchen is pulled back together.
