    I love cooking comforting food this time of the year. I know everyone has a different opinion of what comfort food is, but for me it is a large pot of soup with Colombian flavors simmering on the stove . I usually make my bean soup with dried beans, but this week I was craving this pinto bean soup that my grandmother used to make. However, I forgot to soak the beans overnight, so I decided to make a quick soup with canned beans instead and I must say, this a great alternative when you don’t have time to simmer dried beans for 3 hours.

    I know my mom wouldn’t be proud of me right now because in my house, we always cooked beans from scratch and she usually makes them in the pressure cooker so they cook pretty fast as well. Sorry mom 😉

    Enjoy this quick version of Mamita’s delicious Pinto Bean Soup with Chorizo
