This spicy bean soup is perfect for filling up on a chilly day. Make it in a soup maker on a chunky or smooth setting using your favourite beans or a combination of a few varieties.
It’s always a good idea to have a few tins of beans stored away in the cupboard. They come in handy for so many different dishes. Although I usually end up throwing mine in with a slow cooker recipe, they also taste great in a soup.
I spiced this recipe up with a few spices, cumin, coriander and chilli powder. Not too much – but enough to add a spicy edge.
You can also use a can of mixed beans that come in a prepared chilli sauce.
I have made this recipe in both a Morphy Richards (1.6L) and a Ninja Soup Maker (1.4L).

Simply add everything to the soup maker, add enough hot water up to the line and give everything a good stir. If you want a thick soup I recommend adding two tins (400g).
You can either make it on chunky or smooth. I have done it both ways – I think my favourite is chunky followed by a quick manual pulse/blend at the end to give it that in between consistency.
Server with tortilla crisps, grated cheese or some crusty bread. It is a deliciously filling soup with a hint of spice.

I’d like to make this soup but I have a different brand of soup maker (Lakeland). When you say ‘add hot water up to the line’ please could you tell me how much water that would be? Many thanks.

Hi Clare - that would depend on the exact measurements you are using - I would say probably around 750ml though. Hope that helps, let me know how you get on!

Hello Liana
Chilli usually put me off any recipe (or any product containing it). I do not 'get' foods with a spice so dominate that you cannot taste anything else, and it takes several days of tooth brushing and mouthwash to get rid of the after taste.
However having great faith in you, I made this soup with just the tiniest pinch of chilli flakes. Tt worked well. Mouth Intact!

I've only recently bought a soup maker, and I'm loving your recipes. Could a tin of chickpeas be added to this? Do you think it's worth it?

@Liana Green, Thanks for that. It turned out that the tin in the cupboard was of cannellini beans, so I added them instead. I made the soup in my MR Total Control soup maker, selecting the medium texture. It was beautiful and thick, and very, very tasty. I might try adding a little more chilli powder next time, because I favour extra heat in most things.

Hi John - you could add a tin of chickpeas, that sounds like a great idea! It will create a thicker soup though - let me know if you make it!
