When you put beans in a soup and cook them in, they break down and thicken and create the texture of the soup. Adding at the end would still probably be nice, but it'd be a broth with beans floating in it, which wouldn't be the same. Don't mind me, I'm just missing something that isn't practical to make anymore. If my freezers weren't crammed to bursting, I'd freeze single serves and do it that way, but reducing what's in there is a monumental task that never gets done.

MOO

I live alone/cook for one, and make bean dishes on a regular basis. Don't deprive yourself! Just make what you like and maybe freeze the extra servings so you can have them other times?

Good idea, except her freezer is too full, she said.

I wonder if adding canned refried beans would satisfy. Many years ago, on another forum I used to frequent, a poster shared an easy 5-can soup recipe that includes refried beans. It’s been a very long time since I made it, but I recall it thickened the soup and made it kind of creamy. My recollection is she said it was originally a Weight Watchers recipe.

Found it. The top is her words, not mine (as I DO eat meat. ) The way she wrote it, it looks like the cheese goes into the soup, but I believe it’s just for topping after. At least, that’s what I thought.
