This one’s fool proof and VERY good.

GROCERY LIST:

• 1 lb lean ground beef (90/10)
• 1/2 red pepper (DICED)
• 10oz cans Rotel diced tomatoes & green chilies with juices
• 1 can hatch green chiles
• 4 cups chicken broth
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 1 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tbsp chili powder
• 12oz can corn (drained)
• 15oz can black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 8oz light cream cheese
• Salt & pepper to taste
• Avocado, fresh jalapeno and shredded colby jack for topping

INSTRUCTIONS:

• Remove cream cheese from fridge and bring to room temperature
• Add ground beef to a large pot, brown and drain most of the fat
• Add all the ingredients to the pot except for the cream cheese and salt & pepper.
• Increase the heat to high and bring the soup to a boil, then to a low heat to simmer for 10 minutes
• Add cream cheese, stir and let simmer for another 10 minutes
• Serve and top with avocado, jalepeno and colby jack cheese
  • I bet crispy tortilla strips would be great too.
