For a spicier soup, use hot Hatch chile peppers or add a pinch of cayenne pepper. If you don't have an immersion blender, a regular blender works well. Be careful when blending hot liquids; vent the blender lid to prevent pressure buildup. This soup tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to develop. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Feel free to substitute other types of beans, such as black beans or kidney beans, for the pinto beans. Adjust the amount of chicken broth to achieve your desired soup consistency.
