HEARTY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Hearty Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

This is a fantastic soup! It's easy and it's a one pan meal. I like to switch types of beans, kidney, black, pinto, even black eyed. You can make it hotter, or use less pepper sauce for milder. I like to use the hot pepper flakes when I make mine. I hope you will enjoy this chili soup, and that you make it often.

SPICY TEX-MEX CHILI SOUP



Spicy Tex-Mex Chili Soup image

Make this as spicy as you like by adjusting the dried chili pepper flakes and jalapeno amounts, my family likes extreme heat so I use 2 jalapeno peppers --- for even more flavor add in a small bottle of taco sauce and cumin powder if desired --- all amounts may be adjusted to taste --- I strongly suggest to make this soup a day or 2 days in advance the flavors will intensify, refrigerate then warm on top of the stove, all that is needed with this soup is a loaf of crusty bread :)

TEX-MEX CHICKEN AND RICE SOUP



Tex-Mex Chicken and Rice Soup image

This simplified scratch-made soup is a spicy (but not too spicy) step beyond basic chicken soup. Made with chili powder, cumin, green chiles, corn and tomatoes, there's plenty of flavor to go around. Add rice toward the end of cooking to keep the texture just right, and when it's good and hot, serve with crunchy tortilla chips and a helping of shredded Mexican cheese blend for a hearty, satisfying meal in a bowl.

Time 1h25m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of chili peppers: For a milder chili, use Anaheim or poblano peppers. For a spicier chili, use jalapeño or serrano peppers. You can also use a combination of peppers to achieve your desired heat level.
  • Soak the dried beans overnight: This will help them soften and cook more evenly. If you don't have time to soak the beans overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
  • Brown the beef and sausage before adding it to the chili: This will help to develop the flavor of the meat and prevent it from becoming tough.
  • Add the spices and seasonings to taste: Chili is a versatile dish, so you can adjust the spices and seasonings to your liking. Some common spices used in chili include chili powder, cumin, oregano, and garlic powder.
  • Simmer the chili for at least 30 minutes: This will help to meld the flavors and thicken the soup.
  • Serve the chili with your favorite toppings: Some popular toppings include sour cream, shredded cheese, diced onions, and chopped cilantro.

Conclusion:

Hearty Tex-Mex chili soup is a delicious and satisfying meal that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, this chili soup is sure to become a family favorite.
