  • 2 cans of beef broth
  • 1 can tomato soup
  • 1 cup white button mushroom, thinly sliced

  • 2 cups of water
  • 1 package taco seasoning
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

    Turn heat up to medium for the soup pot. Pour in a can of "pork and beans", cook for 3 minutes, stirring. Add the skillet beef. Cover, simmer for 15 minutes. Put in the mushrooms, cover and simmer for another 5 minutes. Your chipotlé beef and taco soup is ready.

  6. Step 6

    Ladle soup in a large bowl or individual serving bowls. Top with tortilla strips and/or (Mexican-blend shredded cheese/a tablespoonful of sour cream), optional. Each person can adjust to fit own taste with black ground pepper while at the table. Serve hot.

    Makes 4 chipotlé beef and taco soup bowls.

    ※ Variations: Use equal amount of ground pork and shredded chicken breast meat called for on the Things You'll Need list, for chipotlé pork and taco soup/chipotlé chicken and taco soup.
