WOW, 3 ingredients now your talking my language. Only downside is there’s so much salt in canned foods but the simplicity overrules the salt.

Well that is true but it depends whether you have high blood pressure or not. If you do then you can use dried beans and fresh tomatoes etc. but I'm not expecting too much from someone who can only pick up a candy dish. However, I am encouraged that you know there is high sodium in canned goods. I think there is more to you than meets the eye. Make the soup! You will be glad.

@jakeduck1 Jake - Take a look for low sodium/no salt added canned goods. Easier to find if you have access to a large supermarket, coop or natural foods store, and a little more pricy but still an easy, economical meal. It can be harder tofind low-sodium beans, but you can also dump those in a strainer and rinse, rinse, rinse before using to reduce the salt somewhat. And if used with no-salt tomatoes and very low salt broth, you have a winner! We top our soups with crumbled cheese - we especially like Mexican-style queso fresco - for a protein and calcium boost.
Since you watch your salt intake, what do you use to season your food?

I use the no salt added canned black beans and diced tomatoes. But now I can't find them in the store due to shortage, I rinse the black beans well before cooking and added more water to the recipe. I don't any salt and the soup didn't turn out salty.
