3 medium carrots

¾ (227 g) block cheddar cheese

2129 ml chicken or vegetable broth

6 cloves garlic

1 ½ lemons

3 (398 ml) cans pinto beans

1 ½ heads romaine lettuce

6 medium yellow potatoes

black pepper

crushed red pepper

Dijon mustard

mayonnaise

onion powder

rosemary, dried

salt

soy sauce

Instructions

Wash and dry the fresh produce.

Peel and medium dice potatoes. Place in a large pot.

Peel, trim, and medium dice carrots. Add to the pot with the potatoes.

Peel and mince garlic. Add to the pot.

Add broth, beans with their liquid (do not drain), and spices to the pot; stir to combine the soup, then bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer, stirring occasionally, until veggies and beans are tender, 12-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and mince additional garlic. Place in a large bowl.

Juice lemons into the bowl with the garlic. Add mayo, Dijon, soy sauce, salt, and pepper; whisk to combine the dressing.

Chop (or tear) lettuce into bite-sized pieces. Add to the bowl with the dressing, toss to combine the salad, and set aside.

When the soup is done, remove from the heat. Use a hand blender to purée the soup until smooth. (If using a regular blender, work in batches as needed, then return soup to the pot.)

Coarsely grate cheese. Add to the soup and stir until melted and combined.

Divide soup between bowls. Serve with salad on the side and enjoy!
