Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
9 mins

Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper strips. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the peppers are softened, stirring occasionally. Season generously with black pepper. (Approximately 10 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Stir in the sweet white corn, medium-hot salsa, chili powder, drained black beans, rinsed and drained black-eyed peas, chicken stock, chicken bouillon cube, water, and uncooked long grain rice. (3 minutes)

04

Step
33 mins

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer gently for at least 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the soup has thickened to your liking. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. (30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock instead of canned. You can also add a smoked ham hock or some diced andouille sausage during the simmering process for a deeper, smokier flavor profile.
Adjust the amount of salsa and chili powder to suit your preference for spice. If you prefer a milder soup, use mild salsa and reduce or omit the chili powder. For a spicier soup, use hot salsa and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
This soup is even better the next day! The flavors meld together beautifully as it sits. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I found it a little salty, so I omitted the bouillon cube and it was perfect.
