Food Facts
Tortilla soup is so popular. You see it served in a variety of restaurants. It’s so versatile with dozens of ways to make.  It originated in Mexico.

Hominy is yellow or white corn that has its hull removed mechanically or by soaking in lime.

Health Benefits
Black beans are digested slowly and can suppress your appetite for hours.  They’re packed with fiber, iron, B vitamins and folate.

Rinsing canned beans and hominy before adding to soups greatly reduces the sodium content.
