Mexican Soup (please read disclaimer!)

There are three kinds of cooks in our family. The Mild cook: everything turns out the same every time, but is never very warm. The Willy-Nilly cook: nothing tastes the same twice. And the Spicy cook: good for fire-breathing dragons only. We won't mention any names. This soup comes from the recipe box of the Spicy cook. So if you're brave enough to try this deliciously satisfying Mexican Soup, you can't say we didn't warn you!

Mexican Soup

This recipe serves 9.

--1 1/2 to 2 lbs. ground beef, browned and drained

Add:

--3 TBSP taco seasoning (we make our own)

--2 cans Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies

--2 cans ranch style beans

--2 cans black beans, rinsed and drained

--1 can red beans

--1 can cream of mushroom soup

--1 can water (from soup can)

--a couple tablespoons of your favorite super-hot Mexican sauce (our favorite variety is pureed jalapenos)

Heat through, stirring occasionally. Simmer on low for 15-20 minutes. Serve in individual bowls topped with shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

This soup goes well with flour tortillas on the side, too. Or you can spoon it over corn chips. Oh yes!-- please make sure there is an extra pitcher or two of a cold beverage on the table. Because in spite of what Miss Spicy cook has to say about it, this soup'll set your mouth on fire!
