This Mexican-inspired pinto bean soup is creamy, hearty, nourishing, and packed with flavor! Combining pinto beans, fire-roasted tomatoes, veggies, broth, and Mexican seasonings leads to a soup that is ridiculously more-ish. Plus, this recipe can be made in just one pot, is gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian (vegan), high-protein, high-fiber, low-fat, and not to mention low-cost!
Simple & Delicious Mexican Bean Soup
When it comes to Mexican cuisine, legumes are everything for the meat-free eaters out there; chickpeas, kidney beans, black beans, and – of course- pinto beans. The humble pinto bean isn’t quite as ‘popular’ globally as the others, yet appears in some of my favorite Mexican food; chili, Mexican spiced beans, burritos, over nachos, and for refried beans (frijoles refritos).
In comparison to kidney/black beans, pinto beans are softer, creamier, with a slightly earthier, nutty flavor. They’re perfect for blending up into a creamy soup or for stews. Even though I always have a whole variety of beans in my house (dried and canned), I don’t find myself reaching for the pinto beans as often as the others. So I thought I’d share this recipe that gives them a chance to shine!
This pinto bean soup blends Mexican-inspired flavors for a creamy, hearty soup option for the Fall/Winter months. Simmered for 20-25 minutes, this soup allows all the flavors to combine and the beans to soften into a deliciously buttery texture, packing tons of flavor with such a little amount of effort (in a way – similar to a meat-free cowboy soup).
This is comfort food at its best – thick, hearty, satisfying, and truly nourishing while somehow remaining healthy too. Serve this Southern pinto beans recipe as an appetizer or main and you’re sure to have lots of satisfied eaters. Plus, most of the recipe is made up of inexpensive pantry staples and veggies – for a low-cost midweek meal.
Healthy Wholesome Pinto Bean Soup
Not only is this vegan soup low-cost to make, but it’s also a healthy option for the entire family.
Beans are packed with wholesome goodness for our bodies, including being one of the richest sources of plant-based protein and fiber on the planet. They have the ability to regulate blood sugar levels, reducing cholesterol, improving heart health, and even reducing the risk of certain cancers.
Pinto beans are not only a great source of protein and fiber, but they also contain antioxidants, vitamins (especially B1 / Thiamine), and minerals like iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium.
Combined with the likes of carrots, onion, tomatoes, and potatoes – this Mexican bean soup really is a healthy, wholesome, and nutrient-packed meal!
The Step-By-Step Instructions
For the full ingredients list, ingredient measurements, and nutritional information, then please read the recipe card below.
Step 1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and sauté for about 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it begins to soften and starts going translucent.
Step 2. Stir in the roasted tomatoes, garlic, carrots, potato, and all the spices. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant, then pour in the vegetable broth (I also added 2 bay leaves for flavor).
Step 3. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and allow it to simmer, with a lid on, for between 10-15 minutes to begin softening the vegetables. Add the pinto beans, then cook for a further 10 minutes, or until the veggies are all tender- stirring occasionally.
Step 4. Once ready, turn off the heat. Now you can decide on the texture you want for the dish. If you want it as more of a pinto bean stew, then you could leave it chunky as-is. Alternatively, you can use an immersion blender to slightly puree some or all of the soup or even move 50% of the soup to a blender/different pot to completely puree before transferring back to the pot and stirring well.
Step 5. Finally, taste the soup and adjust any of the seasonings as required. Add a little extra veggie broth/water if it’s a little too thick, then serve immediately.
How To Serve
I like to serve this pinto bean soup garnished with fresh herbs, such as cilantro or parsley, and lime wedges. You can add the lime juice directly into the large pot, but I’ve found that different people like different levels.
There are several ways to serve and garnish this wholesome soup/stew:
- If you puree a part of the soup, then you can serve it over rice.
- Whether served as a stew or soup, this goes wonderfully with this gluten-free bread, bread rolls, or cornbread.
- For extra spice, you could top this soup with sliced jalapeño or some hot sauce.
- Similarly to my tortilla soup, you could serve it along with homemade tortilla chips (or store-bought options).
- Feel free to sprinkle with some dairy-free crumbled feta or other vegan cheese (like queso fresco).
- You could top it with a dollop of vegan sour cream and salsa
- Top with some fresh veggies like sliced radish, diced tomatoes, or sliced avocado.
How To Store
Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. It may thicken slightly while chilled, so feel free to add a little extra water when reheating. It should also be freezer-friendly, though it isn’t something I’ve tried.
Recipe Notes
- I tend to cook the soup on the stove, though it should also work well in a crock-pot/slow cooker. I would still sauté the onion first, then add all the ingredients (including soaked but not cooked beans from dry) and cook for 8 hours on low or 4 hours on high. The exact time depends on your slow cooker. Canned beans can become a bit too soft/mushy otherwise – though this isn’t too important if you’re planning to puree the soup.
- The Fire-Roasted Tomatoes: I use fresh sliced tomatoes roasted with a little olive oil at 450F for 30 minutes. However, you can use 1 (14oz) can of fire-roasted tomatoes instead.
More Tipps
- The Pinto Beans: I typically cook pinto beans from dry. However, for this recipe, I used canned beans. Check out my Instant Pot Refried Beans recipe on how to cook pinto beans from dry as they need to be cooked before adding to this recipe.
- Feel free to adjust the spiciness to your liking. You could add ancho chili powder for sweet and smoky spice or use regular chili powder.
- You can substitute other beans in place of the pinto though they will all affect the flavor and texture in different ways. Black beans, cannellini beans, or navy beans could work well.
- Add a little extra oil (such as avocado oil or olive oil) or plant-based cream to add a little ‘silkiness’ to the texture of the soup.
- If you’re short on time, then you can minimize the cooking time by using the tinned beans alongside microwaving the carrots and potatoes with a spoonful of water for 1-2 minutes, till slightly tender. This will reduce the time needed to cook them till tender. You can then add them and the beans to the soup at the same time and cook for 10-15 minutes maximum.
- For an additional smoky flavor, you could add a little liquid smoke to the soup.

This was amazing soup! Used a potato masher at the end to adjust the texture. And added a 1tsp of chili powder. 😀 Served it with warm tortillas, sour cream and avocados.
Side Note: Dad is a carnivore and thinks vegan food is for the Devil. I made a small batch for him with hamburger added. He said my vegan soup was BETTER! I may convert him yet!!!
Wow, love this feedback, Heather! So happy to hear you BOTH enjoyed the soup. 🙂
Great recipe! Very filling and great flavor! I used dried beans, following the instant pot recipe noted, but ended up with way too many cooked beans (no worries…will use the excess for Taco Tuesday!). Will definitely add this to my meal-prep rotation for weekday lunches. Thanks!
Happy to hear you liked the flavor, Becca! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Really enjoyed this recipe. I had just roasted some grape tomatoes I needed to use so this was perfect. I made a pound of pintos in my Instant Pot and then added to the other ingredients. I used baby Dutch potatoes and did not peel them. Next time, and there will be a next time, I think I will use my immersion blender to puree the veggies and part of the pintos and then add the remaining pintos. We served with corn bread. My husband loved the flavor. Said it was like a meatless beef stew!! I plan to serve the leftovers on polenta!!
Thanks!!
That’s so good to hear! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
I have a number of plant based soup recipes that we already love and have in heavy rotation. In order for a new recipe to make the cut, it has to be REALLY good. This is REALLY good.
Yay, that’s awesome, Brenda. Thanks for your sweet feedback. 🙂
I am not a great cook and always look for delicious, frugal and easy recipes. This is wonderful and so easy! Thank you..
You are very welcome, Robyn! Happy you like it. 🙂
This is delicious! I’ve made it twice. The first time I puréed it pretty hard. The second we had it chunkier and preferred that. I’m cooking pretty vegetarian these days due to health concerns and personal preference. I’m raising a kid who loves meat, but even she liked this one.
That’s awesome, Janine! So glad you liked it. 🙂
Made this last night and it was sooooo delicious! One change I made was I used sweet potato in place of regular potato because I didn’t have any. It was so good!
That is awesome, Angelina. Thank you for your great feedback. 🙂
Excellent, we loved it! Cooked the dry beans in the instant pot and then made the soup on the stove. Absolutely delicious!
That’s awesome, Cindi. Thanks for your great feedback. 🙂
The recipe turned out perfectly. A delicious soup that’s perfect on a cold winter night. Served it with cornbread. Mmmmmm….
Sounds awesome, Laurie! So glad you love it. 🙂
This recipe was delicious! I substituted the tomato’s for a can of Rotel tomato’s with chilies, I like my Mexican food spicy, it was delicious.
Sounds awesome, Vivian! Happy you liked it. 🙂
Mine turned out just ok, wish I could figure out why, but also 99% off recipes I try to make turn out just ok or less than ok, so, it’s probably me, not the recipe! Especially since all these other reviews are awesome! I just felt like I couldn’t get the seasoning and the texture quite right, but I followed the recipe pretty closely. Kids didn’t like it. Also questioning my future in cooking at all but that’s another issue haha
more salt!
Absolutely amazing! Absolutely! So glad I tried this. I used what I had on hand – dried pintos, chicken bouillon cubes and water, baby carrots, beefsteak tomatoes, sweet potato, onion powder and minced garlic in water. Added all the other spices and chose to add the additional broth. Definitely will be in rotation in this house! Thank you!
Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
Hello,
We are excited to try this! What fresh tomatoes did you use, and did you roast them whole or cut up? Thanks!
Hi Kasey, I used regular plum tomatoes. You can see it in the step-by-step photos and in the video. 🙂
I’ve made it twice now, exactly as directed. Everyone loved it. Definitely a keeper. So good on autumn days, served with cornbread.
That’s wonderful, Rachel! So happy you love it 🙂
This was delicious and a great way to eat beans that is not boring! Thank you for sharing!!
You are very welcome, Selina! 🙂
I am thinking of making this. I don’t like potatoes. How do you think this would come put if I added hominy?
Hey, I never used hominy, so I am not sure. You could use a small sweet potato instead, or just omit it. 🙂
Thanks so much for this recipe. I made it and it is delicious! I substituted hominy for the potatoes and it worked quite well. I highly recommend it.
That’s awesome, Harry. I am so glad you enjoyed it. 🙂
I sadly can’t eat tomatoes. What would you recommend as a substitute? Or would it be fine without them?
Hi TJ, maybe roasted peppers would be an option? 🙂
Beans and hominy are delicious together! One thing though, add it to the part of the soup thee is NOT pureeing; it’s been my experience that hominy doesn’t take well to blending 🙂
Thanks for sharing! 🙂
This was fantastic and so easy. I immediately shared this recipe with my dad and he loved it as well. We served the leftovers over a bit of spicy rice. Highly recommend and will definitely make again.
Hi Ann, I am so glad you liked it! Thanks for your great feedback. 🙂
Yummy! I made it as written and it was delish! Made some brown rice and mashed avocado. Can’t wait to heat up the leftovers tomorrow!
Sounds amazing, Amy! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Completely delicious. I soaked my pintos overnight snd cooked them in the Instant Pot. This is a keeper.
Awesome, Robin! Happy you like it. 🙂
I’ve used the ingredients in this recipe with dry beans. It’s delicious!! Making it again tonight for the 7th or 8th time. Adding Mexican cornbread to the meal.
That’s amazing, Wayne! I am so glad you like the soup. 🙂
did you soak beans first or add them in soup and cook longer? New at trying dry beans. Could you share a little guidance. Thanks Edythr
Hi, check out my Instant Pot Refried Beans recipe on how to cook pinto beans from dry.
Looking forward to trying this recipe. My question is can an Instant Pot be used and if so, how long? Thanks and can’t wait
Hi Sarah, yes, that is possible. One reader (Lisa – check her comment below) already made it in an Instant Pot, and it was a success. However, I haven’t tried it yet, so I cannot tell you for how long. 🙂
What’s the sodium per serving?
That really depends on how much salt you add. 🙂
Just made this for lunch and it’s a keeper! I’m always happy to have more vegan recipes in my repertoire. Thank you!
You are very welcome, Holly! 🙂
I would like to add this recipe to my recipe box but for some reason I am not able to copy and paste. How do I get copies of your wonderful recipes?
Hi Vee, you can jump to the recipe card, then click on print recipe, and there you can copy it. 🙂
Hi. I can’t find the notes on this recipe. Where are the asterisk comments? Thanks.
Hi JJ, the notes are right under the instructions. All other asterisks can be ignored, these are just affiliate links.

Can’t wait to try, reminds me of the pinto bean soup I’ve been making with a bit of heat from Cayenne. It also has half the beans blended/half solid. It has barley though. I like the added nutrition of the barley, I wonder if I increase the vegetable broth (or add some water) and spices, I could add a bit of barley to this recipe as well? With, or without, I am anxious to give this a try! Thanks for posting it!
Hi JJ, I never tried adding barley, but I think it should work well. 🙂
Ela, you truly are a food stylist! Nice to find a recipe by someone that understands what they are doing. I only use recipes for ideas but I’m following your recipe much closer than any other I’ve ever found. That’s because I don’t have to correct mistakes that 99.9% of recipes contain because the chef doesn’t understand flavors, textures or the cooking process.
Aww, thank you so much for your kind compliment. 🙂
I have a pot of this soup going right now!!! Can’t wait to taste it and see if the family likes it.
I hope they like it. 🙂
This soup was such a hit! I’m visiting my parents and my dad and I are both vegetarian so I made this with cornbread and a salad and everyone loved it.
So happy everyone loved it, Faye! 🙂
Love this soup. I added a diced sweet red pepper and a can of diced green chilies. I used a can of salsa-style fire roasted tomatoes and a can of dark red kidney beans since I only had one can of pinto beans in the cupboard. So delicious…. and my picky husband even likes it.
Hi Debra, I am so glad you liked it. 🙂
This soup is easy to make, and so flavorful! Absolutely delicious.
Hi Christine, I am glad you liked it. Thanks for your feedback! 🙂
This recipe was positively wonderful!!! I am going to make it on a weekly basis. Thanks so much!
Hi Dena, I am glad you liked it. 🙂
I’ve been camping out on your page for about a year now and you never cease to amaze and impress!!!
This is THE BEST soup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Aww, thank you so much, Michelle! So glad you like my page. 🙂
Recently became a vegetarian and I’ve been looking for a good bean soup recipe. This is it. Really delicious! I don’t like smoked paprika, so I used Hungarian hot paprika and it gave it the heat that I love. Thank!
Sounds great! I am happy you loved it. Thanks for your comment. 🙂
These sounds go good! Question I have to omit tomatoes what would be a good subitute for flavour?
Hi Beth, I think peppers would be great. 🙂
This soup was AMAZING! I love to cook and bake… and I love pinterest… but many soups on pinterest just don’t cut it for me. This one went above and beyond. I will be roasting my tomatoes from now on! I never leave comments but had to show you so love. Thank you for sharing. Looking forward to try more of your recipes.
Silky, creamy deliciousness with deep flavour. Thank you thank you thank!
Aww, that’s so kind of you. Thanks for your great feedback, Stef. 🙂
Do you drain the canned tomatoes?
Hi Joan, no, don’t drain. Use everything which is in the can. 🙂
I’ve been avoiding the pintos in my pantry and now I have no idea why….this was DELICIOUS. Best bean soup ever
Yay, that’s awesome, Hannah! Thanks for your great feedback. 🙂
I made this tonight, and my family LOVED it! I thought they might complain and ask where the meat was, but they didn’t. I used canned tomatoes, and added a can of refried beans after I pureed half of the soup to make it a little thicker. I served with cornbread, broken tortilla chips and shredded cheese on top. Family (sons age 11 and 14, and hubs) asked me to make again.
Hi Amy, I am so glad you and your family enjoyed it! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Is the nutritional info for a cup of soup. One cup? Thx.
Hi Donna, yes, one serving is a little more than one cup. 🙂
I’m not sure what you are trying to say with all the * after some of the ingredients? Can you explain further?
Hi Rose, there is a disclaimer on every page, that affiliate links are marked with an asterisk (*). I hope this helps.
This soup is amazing, one of my favourites, I’ve lost count how many times I’ve made it! Love eating it with nacho chips if I have some around. Thank you so much, it’s wonderful to get excited about eating healthy food and you make it that much easier.
That makes me very happy, Samantha! Thanks so much for sharing. 🙂
So flavorful and easy to make. Thank you for sharing.
You are very welcome! Happy you liked it. 🙂
I forgot to buy pintos at the store. So I plan on substituting for black beans. I know it’s a slightly different profile… I wonder If it will come out well… I’m reminding of the old saying If “it grows together it goes together.” I’ll keep you guys posted.
Sounds interesting! I hope it turned out yummy. 🙂
It came out delicious! I recommend adding some olive oil to a pan and sauteing the leftovers. Then adding some Monterey jack cheese, salsa verde, and rolling it up in wheat tortilla… One of the best things I ever ate. A great way to get some whole grains in.
Thanks for reporting back, Joseph! 🙂
Used canned tomatoes and beans. Yummy and filling. My non Vegan husband even liked
It.
That’s wonderful! Thanks for your feedback, Royce! 🙂
Really enjoyed this recipe. Did a test run with canned tomatoes and canned beans. Next time will make the tomatoes and beans. Do you know if it will freeze well?
Forgot to add my rating. This is a keeper.
Thank you, Lisa. 🙂
Hi Lisa, yes, it should freeze well. I am glad you liked it. 🙂
I’m not a vegan so I browned a pound of ground beef along with the onions and used homemade chicken broth. Was so good! 😋Thanks for sharing!
Good to hear! Was just thinking I’d plan to add browned ground pork and omit the potatoes. Sounds delish!
Oh chorizo might be amazing with this too!
Hi!
I hace a question, how many grams are 2 14 oz can?
Hi! The weight of ONE 14 oz can is 400 grams (with the liquid) and about 250 g drained. 🙂
Thank you!!! 🙂
You are very welcome. 🙂
And yet, another 5-star recipe! You’re killing it, Ela!
Thanks so much, Christine. 🙂
This soup was so good and so easy to make! I followed the recipe exactly minus transferring 50% of the soup to another pot. I just did it in the same pan. It tasted even better the next morning. I dolloped some vegan sour cream on top before eating and that really brought out the flavor as well. I’ll have to try adding refried beans next time like the other people in the comments!
Sounds amazing, Nicole! Thanks for your great feedback. 🙂
Love this soup!!! Its a favorite in my family….. we could eat it every week! And its so easy to make. I use dry pinto beans and make in my instapot after soaking 8-12 hours.
That’s awesome! So glad you love it. 🙂
Hi! Would you please share how long this took to cook in the IP after soaking the dried beans over night? Thanks!
Fantastic soup!
Added some corn at the end, I suggest trying it! It’s a nice sweet pop!
Sounds great, thanks for the suggestion Heather. 🙂
Great recipe. I didn’t use my immersion blender and added 1 full can of fat free refried beans. Will definitely be on my soup rotation list. Thank you!
Wonderful! Happy you liked it, Cheri. 🙂
This soup was great. We decided to add a small can of green chili’s, and since we like beans, we used both cans without blending and then used about 3/4 of a can of retried beans to smooth it out.
Sounds great, Robb! 🙂
Wonderful soup! Thankful I found it!
I am glad you enjoyed it, Donna! 🙂
I followed the recipe exactly and it’s the best soup I ever made and tasted.
Thank you
I am so glad you liked it, Margie! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
This was excellent-healthy, easy, inexpensive, and flavorful! I added some of my own seasonings (Penzey’s adobo and chipotle in particular) but followed the recipe closely otherwise. We served with tortilla chips, vegan sour cream, vegan cheese, lime juice, and cilantro. Next time, I’m going to add some roasted corn.
Thanks for this awesome recipe! I give this one 5 stars!
Sounds awesome, Jen! Thanks so much for your wonderful feedback! 🙂
My sister made this tonight — absolutely delicious. We love pinto beans! We garnished each bowl with lime and avocado. A great winter soup.
That’s good to hear, Kathryn! I am so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
So delicious! I added a handful of spinach and a can of hominy just because I had it. Definitely in the rotation. A+
Happy you liked the recipe, Jamie. 🙂
Hey there awesome recipe . Question: will this recipe work if I don’t blend it ?
Yes, but it won’t be creamy, it will be a hearty stew. Check the step-by-step photos before blending, that’s how it will look. 🙂
I tried it today, amazing!!! Thank you very much for sharing 🤗
I am glad you enjoyed it, Diana. 🙂
This looks so delicious! I have a question. Can you tell us in the nutrition information what measurement a single serving actually is? I’m on a calorie watch diet and it would be immensely helpful to know this. My guess is that 1 cup of this soup is a single serving. Again, just a guess.
Thank you. Love your recipes!
Hi Vicky, yes, it’s about 1 cup (roughly 250 grams). I hope you will like it. 🙂
Great soup! Even my toddlers liked it, so that’s a win for me. Would definitely make again!
That’s good to hear, Jacki! Thanks for your feedback. 🙂
Hello, it’s really delicious meal! Thank you a lot 🙏
You are very welcome, Natalia. 🙂
the recipe looks great but i’m not a big fan of potatoes – can i leave it out or substitute something else?
Sure! You could use sweet potatoes or veggies of choice. 🙂
Made this amazing recipe yesterday. Just sat down and ate my second bowl for lunch. The only changes I made was to add pickled jalapeños and cooked it in my instant pot. It was absolutely delicious! I topped it with tart yogurt and avocado. It was super delicious! I will make it again.
Sounds amazing, Lisa! I am so glad you liked it. 🙂
Are you serious?? You let thIS recipe out??? Let me tell ya something. Just the base before the beans go in is so delish that I am tempted to leave it at that BUT I promised my family beans. So in they go.!
I hope you don’t mind that this will be my family secret recipe.. I love love and love this recipe.
Hahaha, I love your comment, Monique! Thanks so much for your great feedback. And yes, sure, I won’t tell anyone, haha. 😀
Super easy and filling. Squeezed a lime in at the end and it was yummy 😋
I am so glad it was delicious! Thanks for your feedback, Lana! 🙂
Hoping to make this for dinner tomorrow, how many tomatoes do I need to roast for the recipe?
Hi Stacey, that depends on the size of the tomatoes. You’ll need 14 oz (400 g) of roasted tomatoes. I used 5-6 plum tomatoes. 🙂
This was fabulous! I used dry pinto beans and soaked them during the day. Easy to follow directions and super yummy. Both my kids had 2 bowls, which made this a great mom win for me! Super healthy, will definitely make it again. Thanks!
I am so glad it was a success! Thanks for your great feedback, Haviva. 🙂
How much dried beans if using them in recipe?
Hi Judy, you can use about 250 grams of dried beans which will result in about 500 grams of cooked beans.
