My mom gave me this recipe. She eats it daily. It is very tasty. I started losing weight after adding it to my regular diet. Sometimes I add hot sauce to spice it up a bit. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Fat-free refried beans carry the primary structural burden in this recipe, functioning as an emulsifier and starch source that binds the watery chicken broth and canned vegetables together. Starches released from the mashed pinto beans disperse into the liquid phase when heated, increasing viscosity without requiring the addition of added fats or roux. Canning liquids contain excess sodium and metallic traces, making the step to rinse the black beans chemically necessary to prevent a muddy flavor profile in the final pot.
Substitutions alter this starch-to-liquid ratio significantly. Swapping the refried beans for whole white beans will yield a thinner, clearer broth because whole legumes lack the broken cell walls needed for rapid starch dispersion. Increasing the chicken broth by fifty percent requires an additional quarter-cup of mashed beans to maintain the original body, otherwise the soup separates into distinct watery layers.
Determining doneness relies on visual and textural cues rather than thermal measurement since all components arrive pre-cooked. Simmer the mixture until the refried bean lumps dissolve completely into the liquid, typically requiring ten to twelve minutes of medium heat. Watch for the appearance of small, steady bubbles breaking the surface across the entire pot diameter, which indicates the internal temperature has reached a uniform 185 degrees Fahrenheit.
