This is a spicy Mexican Style Soup/Chowder. If you like the flavors of Salsa and Tacos you may enjoy this one too.
Ingredients:1lb lean ground Chicken or any lean ground meat
1 cartoon Chicken Broth = 4 cups
1 medium sized onion chopped
2 serrano chilies diced
1 can of black beans washed and drained
4oz cream cheese
2 cups salsa
1/2 tbs cumin powder
3-4 cloves garlic chopped 1tbs red chili flakes
6oz frozen corn
Directions: Heat soup pan with 2 tbs oil. I used Canola oil. Saute' the onions and green chilies
Next add ground meat and saute' I used ground chicken. But you can substitute beef or pork if you prefer.
Season with Salt and Pepper to taste. 1/2tbs of ground cumin, 1tbs of red chili flakes and chopped garlic.
Add 2 cups of salsa and one can of blacked beans and 6oz of frozen or canned corn.
Add Chicken Stock and 2 additional cups of water. Also add the cream cheese and make sure it melts into the soup. Simmer on stove for 20 minutes. Check seasoning. If you want a punch more "taco" flavor to the soup you can add about a tablespoon of taco seasoning.
This soup is great with some corn or tortilla chips on top. Enjoy. It should serve 8 people.
