Ingredients

Scale

Canned Ingredients

  • 1 can diced tomatoes (with juices)
  • 1 can corn, drained
  • 1 can black beans or kidney beans, drained
  • 1 can vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 can green chilies or diced peppers, drained
  • 1 can potatoes, drained
  • 1 can carrots or mixed vegetables, drained

Instructions

  1. Gather and Prep Your Cans: Open all seven cans and drain any excess liquid from ingredients like beans, corn, potatoes, and mixed vegetables to avoid a watery soup. Keep the broth and diced tomatoes with their juices to retain flavor.
  2. Combine Ingredients in a Pot: In a large soup pot, pour in the vegetable or chicken broth first. Add the canned diced tomatoes (with juices), drained beans, corn, green chilies, potatoes, and carrots. Stir well to evenly combine all ingredients.
  3. Bring to a Simmer: Place the pot over medium heat and bring the soup to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the soup to thicken slightly.
  4. Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, or your preferred herbs and spices. Taste the soup and adjust seasonings as needed to suit your preference.
  5. Serve Warm and Enjoy: Once the soup is hot and fragrant, ladle it into bowls and serve. Garnish as desired with shredded cheese, sour cream, chopped green onions, or fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Drain beans and vegetables but keep broth and tomato juices for maximum flavor.
  • Add spices like cumin, smoked paprika, or dried herbs early for deeper flavor.
  • For a thicker soup, mash some beans or potatoes with a spoon before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley just before serving to keep flavors bright.
  • Simmer slowly rather than boiling rapidly to better meld the flavors.
