This time of the year I just want to sit next to the fire (it is more like an electric heater) to read a good book or watch movies while enjoying a cup of champurrado, Mexican chocolate, tea or just a steamy cup of soup. I enjoy soups all year long, but I really crave them when the temperatures hit the 40°F and lower. And that’s where we were last week here in Central Ohio. It was so cold that I was looking for excuses to turn the oven on to keep the kitchen warm. So I decided to make a soup with something roasted in it. That’s how this soup was born, a warming soup with a lot of flavor.
Pinto bean and roasted garlic soup
The ingredients:
2 garlic heads
1 TBSP olive oil
1/2 small onion, sliced
2 cups cooked pinto beans, drained
3 oz cream cheese
3 cups chicken broth, or if you cook your own pinto beans 3 cups of the broth where they were cooked
