Tortilla Chipotle Bean Soup

First begin by pressure cooking the pinto beans.

Cook until all sides are charred a little and the jalapeno is cooked through.

Turn off the flame and let them cool for a few minutes so that you can handle them.Then cut the stem off and take out all the seeds.

Then place in a blender the tomatoes, only 2 jalapenos (save one) and 2 chipotle chiles.

Blend until smooth. Then set aside.

Next, heat 2 tbsp ghee in a large pot and then add the cumin seeds. Cook until they begin to turn brown.

Then add the chopped fresh oregano and fry for another 30-45 seconds.

Then immediately add the tomato puree and all remaining spices. Cook for about 8 minutes or until the tomatoes are cooked through.

Here is what it should look like. A very deep red color.

Next add the remaining cooked, chopped and seeded jalapeno and the cooked pinto beans.
