Hearty Tex-Mex Chili Soup

Submitted by FLUFFSTER

"This is a fantastic soup! It's easy and it's a one pan meal. I like to switch types of beans, kidney, black, pinto, even black eyed. You can make it hotter, or use less pepper sauce for milder. I like to use the hot pepper flakes when I make mine. I hope you will enjoy this chili soup, and that you make it often."

This was good but better when it sat. I used all ground beef, petite diced tomatoes, 15 ounces of tomato sauce, 15 ounce can of corn and one cup of water. I didn't add the chilies. I followed the rest of the recipe as written. I froze some of this for future lunches. This was more of a taco soup then I chili soup to me. I loved it either way.

Other than doubling the meat, followed the recipe. Hearty soup!

I used this recipe as a base. I added quite a bit of veggies (3 stalks celery, 1 carrot, shallot and garlic) Also used fresh corn and a fresh Anaheim instead of the canned green chile and frozen corn. I didn't have tomato sauce, so used 2 small cans of paste and added a bit extra water... I also only used ground sirloin and black beans as I had no sausage nor kidney beans. Sounds like a lot of changes, but all in all a very similar dinner. Hubby and I enjoyed it quite a bit. Thanks for posting!!!

this is an excellent soup, I made a few changes to this recipe and added the onion and some fresh garlic in with the ground beef/sausage mixture, used my recipe#76616 also I used chicken broth in place of the water and also added in 1 tablespoon crushed chili flakes, I made this a day ahead to blend/intensify the flavors, I sent this home with my DS in a take-home pac and it was thoroughly enjoyed, thanks for another winner Fluffy!

This recipe goes straight into the regular rotation of soups I make for my family of soup lovers. It's quick and easy, versatile and fabulous. I made a couple of changes. I used 3/4 lb of italian hot sausage and no ground beef, regular canned tomatoes, and one can of black beans and one can of chili beans. It turned out full of flavour and nice and spicy. Thank you, Fluffster.
