SOUTHWEST SOUP


ingredients

1 large onion, chopped
2 lb. ground meat
3 (No. 303) cans Ranch Style beans
2 cans minestrone soup

1 can Ro-Tel tomatoes

preparation

Sauté onions; brown meat and drain. Add all the other ingredients. Season to taste with salt, pepper and garlic. Simmer for 45 minutes.

I usually put this in a crock-pot when I get up and it is ready when I come in. You may add mixed vegetables (Veg-All) and some pasta, noodles, macaroni, etc. Serve with grated cheese and corn bread. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
