Note: Throwback Thursday is a new series where I take some of my original posts here on Curry and Comfort and redo them so I can take better photos.
Ingredients:
1lb lean ground meat ( I used chicken)
4 cups chicken broth (box or homemade)
2-3 cups water
1 medium sized onion chopped
2 serrano chilies diced
1 can of black beans rinsed and drained
4oz cream cheese
2 cups salsa (or one can diced tomatoes)
1/2 Tbs cumin powder
2-3 cloves garlic
red chili flakes to taste
2 cups corn (frozen or fresh)
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
salt and black pepper to taste
limes for garnish
Directions:
Heat soup pan with 2 Tbs canola. Saute the onions, garlic and green chilies. Next add ground meat and saute.
Then season with salt, pepper , ground cumin, red chili flakes. Next add salsa, blacked beans and corn.
Add chicken stock, water, cream cheese. Work cream cheese until it melts into the soup. Simmer on stove for 20-25 minutes. Check seasoning. Finally stir in cheddar cheese and melt well.
This soup is great with some corn or tortilla chips on top. Serve with wedges of lime so anyone can add some brightness to the soup before eating. Enjoy. Serves 4-6.
