This rice and beans soup is comforting, filling and full of flavor. I like to top this dish with diced avocado and fresh cilantro.
I am a die-hard soup fan and it’s one of my absolute favorite meals during the fall and winter seasons. Este Rice and Beans soup was a staple at my grandmother’s house when I was a kid. Mamita made the most amazing food!
I added cooked Colombian chorizo to the soup, but you can add cooked bacon or cooked pork belly if you prefer.

I love how this soup is both incredibly easy to make yet so satisfying. On a cold day, there is nothing better than sinking into a big bowl of thick and flavorful Bean and Rice Soup topped with avocado and chili pepper. This soup shouts comfort in every spoonful. It is a dish that I’ve loved since I was a child and I still can’t get enough of it!
Enjoy your meal!
