Three Bean Soup


For every 2 people you will need:

1 (15 oz) can Red Beans
1 (15 oz) can Chili Beans
1 (15 oz) can Great Northern Beans
1 (15 oz) can corn
1 (28 oz) can diced tomatoes
3 Tbsp. chili powder
2 Tbsp. garlic powder
3 Tbs. cumin
1/4 cup honey
2 cups dry pasta ( I used tri-color rotini)

In a large pot, combine all ingredients except for the pasta. Bring to a boil. After mixture has come to a boil for about 2 minutes, simmer  covered on low for at least 2 hours, stirring occasionally.

 When you are ready to serve, boil pasta to al dente and add into soup base. *DO NOT DRAIN PASTA* Use the starchy cooking water to create more of a broth. Allow to simmer for approximately 5 more minutes. Enjoy!!

TIME SAVER TIP:
I made a double batch ( minus the noodles) and froze the second half. When ready to serve, take frozen soup and heat. Follow the steps for adding the noodles and you will have a home made meal in less than 20 minutes!
