Notes
Kid Friendly: Take it easy on the spice. If you make a mild version of this by eliminating the chipotle powder the soup will be toddler + friendly. For tiny littles, I would recommend removing a few pieces of pork & beans & rinsing them off and serving these to your infant without the soup. Dependent on the age, mashing or pureeing the beans may also be recommended.
