Description

This hearty Mexican Tomato Soup combines seasoned ground beef, diced tomatoes with green chilies, and a medley of beans and corn, all simmered slowly in a savory tomato broth.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 (1-oz) package taco seasoning
  • 2 (10-oz) cans Rotel diced tomatoes and green chilies, undrained
  • 1 (15-oz) can corn kernels, drained
  • 1 (15-oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 (32-oz) container chicken broth
  • 2 (10.5-oz) cans tomato soup
  • 1 (8-oz) container chive and onion cream cheese spread, softened
  • 1 (18-oz) package refrigerated cheese tortellini, uncooked

Instructions

  1. In a skillet, cook the lean ground beef over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess grease to keep the soup from becoming too oily.
  2. Stir in the taco seasoning and undrained Rotel diced tomatoes with green chilies. Continue cooking over medium heat for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  3. Move the seasoned beef mixture into a slow cooker.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and tomato soup, then add the drained corn kernels and rinsed black beans. Stir gently to combine.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6 to 8 hours, allowing the flavors to develop fully.
  6. Stir in the softened chive and onion cream cheese spread and the uncooked cheese tortellini, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  7. Cover again and cook on HIGH for 15 to 30 minutes, until the tortellini is tender and cooked through.
