 Ingredients:

This is a really cheap and easy dish to make and it'll give you lots for lunches or future servings via freezing. It's also really good for you and will fill you up without a whole lot of guilt.

Vegetarians can omit all things meat to suit themselves, but I really like the smoky flavour bacon gives to bean dishes.

You'll need the following:

3-4 strips side bacon
1 can each white kidney and black beans
12 oz crushed tomato
3 cups chicken, pork or vegetable stock
1/2 red onion
4 cloves garlic
4 green onions
4 stalks celery
1 enormous carrot (or 3 regular sized ones)
3 ears fresh corn (a can of niblets will do too!)
1/4 cup fresh coriander (known as cilantro elsewhere)
1tbsp grated cheddar or jack
Salt, pepper, and other spices you like.

I used generic beans and tomatoes from the grocery priced at under $1.50 each.

You can also use dried beans for even less money, but you'll need to soak them overnight or your soup will be crunchier than you want it to be.
