I found this spicy chilli bean soup on the BBC Good Food website when I'd been searching for new soup ideas. We really enjoy beans and a bit of spice, so decided this would be a perfect soup to try for providing comfort and heat!
The prep is minimal for making this hearty soup...enjoy it for lunch or dinner. It's full of flavour, comforting and the fresh lime when serving adds a lovely hit of freshness.
