DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE TITLE! Your kids, hubby, wifey, and everyone will eat it. I have made triple batches and could not keep it in the house. It's very smooth, and easily eaten by anyone with or without teeth. :) Fights have started over the leftovers.

ingredients
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 stalks celery, chopped or 2 teaspoons celery seeds
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 (28 ounce) can peeled tomatoes
- 1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 pinch cinnamon (optional)
- 1 pinch cayenne
- 2 cups beef stock
- salt and pepper
directions
- Roughly chop the onion, pepper, and celery.
- Add the oil to a large stock pot and add the chopped vegetables, cooking until soft.
- Add the beef and cook until browned.
- Add the tomatoes and refried beans with the garlic, spices, and mix well.
- Stir in the stock (you can use bouillon cubes and omit some of the water to make this as a dip) and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Either use a stick blender or small batches into your food processor and puree the soup.
- Adjust the seasonings (I like mine A LOT spicier so I add more cayenne and some green chilies to the mix, sometimes a dash or two of Tabasco.).
- Serve with sour cream and tortilla chips.
- Freezes Well.

this was delicious!! I did make it a bit different as we don't eat red meat. I used extra firm tofu crumbled up instead. I also used chicken broth instead of beef. I had made homemade refried beans yesterday and needed to find something other than bean dip to use them for and this was awesome!! I had everything else on hand. Everyone really liked it and thought it tasted alot like chicken enchilada soup. but this was ALOT easier!! And quicker!! Thanks for a great go to recipe!! Good for an evening with not alot of time!!
