Bean and Rice Soup

Serves 6

Ingredients:
1 can black beans
1 can pinto beans
1 can diced tomatoes
4 oz can tomato sauce
3 cloves garlic
1/2 cup corn
1 cup water
2 cups cooked rice (I used white rice here)
salt and pepper to taste

In a medium pot, cook the rice according to instructions on the bag/box.

Meanwhile, in a large pot pour out the black beans, pinto beans and diced tomatoes without draining.  Add tomato sauce, garlic and corn. Simmer until the rice is done cooking, or for around 20 minutes.

Once rice is done, add it and simmer the soup for additional 10 minutes, or until flavors have blended. Add the water if the soup is too thick. 

Serve hot!
I enjoyed it with a small cesar salad.
