Here's what you need:

1 cup chicken stock or bouillon
3 15-ounce cans of black beans or pinto beans, drained
1 14-ounce can of Mexican style stewed tomatoes
1 1/2 cups of canned corn
2 garlic cloves, minced

2 Tbsp. cilantro, minced
1 4-ounce can chopped green chilies
1/2 cup milk
Spicy seasoning to taste such as Tabasco sauce or cayenne pepper

 

Here's how to make it:

Bring chicken stock to a simmer over medium heat.

In another bowl combine drained beans, tomatoes, corn, garlic, cilantro, and chilies. Remove a cup and a half of the mixture and puree it in a blender or food processor. Add it back to the mixture and add everything to the simmering chicken stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, add milk, stir well and reduce heat and simmer for about 20 minutes.

Season to taste with Tabasco, cayenne pepper or other spicy seasoning. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and chopped green onions.
