Directions
In an 8-quart soup or pasta pot, heat the oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion. Cook and stir until onion starts to soften, about 5 minutes.
Add celery and green pepper. Cook and stir another 5 minutes, until all vegetables soften.
Add drained and rinsed beans to pot.
Stir in tomatoes, cumin, and chili powder.
Bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10–20 minutes to blend flavors.
Tip:
Delicious with rice or a side of Good-for-You Cornbread .
Note: If you can't find beans labeled “low sodium,” compare the Nutrition Facts panels to find the beans with the lowest amount of sodium. Rinsing can help further reduce the sodium level.
