  • place a few cubes of pepper jack cheese and some chips in the bottom of a bowl.
  • Ladle the soup over the top.

  • Serve.

Notes

Storage:
Store the soup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to five days.
You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
Don't forget to serve leftovers with extra cheese, chips, and your favorite toppings!
Tips:
  • Don't skip draining and rinsing your beans—the slimy bean liquid can throw off the texture and flavor of your delicious soup! Rinse them in a colander or strainer for best results.
  • Don't like handling garlic? You can usually find pre-peeled and minced cloves of garlic in the produce section for even faster prep.
  • Make your own crispy tortilla strips by frying sliced flour or corn tortillas in a little bit of hot olive oil. Use medium heat to prevent burning, and don't forget to sprinkle with some flaky sea salt!
