This gluten free Beef and Bean Burrito Soup, which is quick and easy to put together, is the ideal fill-me-up soup for a weeknight dinner.
“Oh no! It’s 5:00 and I have no idea what’s for supper tonight!”
Come on, admit it, I know I’m not the only one that this has happened to.
At least, I sure hope not.
This happened to me again last week, but a quick look through the fridge and pantry gave me an idea – the flavours of beef and bean burritos, but in a soup. We’re still having winter here in Manitoba, so anything in soup form is very welcome. This soup is so thick, it’s nearly a stew. Since it’s not heavily relying on the cheese, it is also easy to serve this dairy-free.
The next time 5:00 hits, and you’re not sure what to eat, I hope that this quick and easy Beef and Bean Burrito Soup comes to mind.
