Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

Heat oil in 8-quart stock pot. Add pork, cumin, salt and pepper. Saute until pork is browned, about 5-10 minutes.
Add onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add pinto beans and stir to coat with oil. Add chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until beans are tender.
In a food processor, puree tomatillos, jalapeno pepper, cilantro and lime juice.
Add to stock pot and simmer for an additional 1/2 hour, to blend flavors.
Top with sour cream, cilantro sprigs, diced avocado, tomatoes or sliced radishes.
