Mexican Soup



Another delicious soup that would be perfect to help you celebrate Cinco de Mayo or any time you feel like you need to spice up your recipe rotation.

I made this for supper and everyone at the table had a second bowl!

That's my gauge of the success of a recipe.

You will need:

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. chopped onion
2 garlic cloves. minced
2 16 oz. cans light red kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 (15 oz.) can diced tomatoes with mild green chiles (rotel), Undrained
1 (14.5 oz) can petite diced tomatoes and jalapenos, undrained
1 (14 oz.) can beef broth
2 c. yellow and white frozen whole kernel corn
1 (1oz.) envelope taco seasoning mix
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 T. chopped fresh cilantro

Toppings:
Sour cream
chopped fresh cilantro

DIRECTIONS:

Brown ground beef, onion and garlic in lg. dutch oven over med-high heat. Stir in beans, and next 8 ingredients., and 4 c. water. Bring to a boil over med. high heat. Cover, reduce to low and simmer 30 minutes. Stir in cilantro just before serving.

*I served this with Thin Mexican Cornbread, with totilla chips and dip for an appetizer.

I'll feature the recipe for Mexican cornbread tomorrow.

  5. I make a soup very similar to this one! Yes, it is good! A few minutes before serving, however, I cut strips from a flour tortilla and drop in the hot soup. They end up like yummy dumplings. A great addition if you choose!!
