"Thanks for a great easy recipe! This is perfect for my busy schedule! - Sarah"

This 3 Ingredient Refried Bean Soup was part of my meal plan for a vegan road trip.

The outcome of this easy bean soup all depends on the salsa you use. Mine was a medium salsa verde which had a decent amount of salt.

If you're going to add vegan cheese, that adds a good amount of salt as well. The salsa verde I used happened to be a bit liquidy, so make sure to adjust the ingredients accordingly.

If you like to go camping, this pinto bean soup is perfect to make on the trip. It can be whipped up in no time.

The only ingredient that needs to be refrigerated, assuming you're using non-refrigerated salsa, is the vegan cheese.

Another quick and easy soup is my 5 Ingredient Curry Peanut Butter Pumpkin Soup. It is perfect for a fast weeknight meal!

🔪 Instructions

Ingredients in a saucepan before heating and mixing.

Step 2: Simmer on medium heat for 8-10 minutes.

❄️ Can I Freeze It?

If you want to freeze it, make sure to let the soup cool completely before placing it in a freezer bag or air-tight container.
Liquids expand as they freeze, so don't fill containers or bags all the way full. For freezer-safe containers, leave about an inch of space from the top. For freezer bags, fill about ¾ the way full. Let out as much air as you can, and lay flat in the freezer.
You can keep soup in the freezer for 4-6 months, but flavors in the freezer start to fade around 2 months.
When you're ready to eat, let the soup thaw overnight in the fridge, then heat in a saucepan or microwave.
