A "taco soup" recipe and a question
« on: November 05, 2017, 12:48:45 PM »
Question first, can enchilada sauce be replicated easily, it appears so, I would like one less "can" in this recipe. Now, the recipe, I added corn and rice to it to make it more hearty, it was better, I skipped the garnishes, too much other stuff to keep track of.
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound lean ground beef
1/2 large onion, chopped
1 tsp EACH chili pwdr, cumin, salt
1/2 tsp EACH dried oregano, smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 red bell pepper, chopped
4 garlic cloves,  minced
1/4 cup flour
1 15 oz. can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1 15 oz. can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 4 oz. can mild diced green chilies
1 cup mild salsa
1 10 oz. can  mild enchilada sauce
5 cups reduced sodium chicken broth
Add later:
1 cup freshly grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup freshly grated Pepper Jack cheese
4 oz. cream cheese, cubed and softened
Garnish
Tortilla chips or fritos
sour cream
Tomatoes
lettuce
Avocado/guacamole
Hot sauce to taste
fresh cilantro
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven or soup pot. Brown the meat with onions until meat is cooked. Add all spices/seasonings, red bell pepper and garlic. Sprinkle in flour and cook, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.
Stir in kidney beans, black beans, green chilies, salsa, enchilada sauce and chicken broth. Bring to boil then reduce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until slightly thickened.
Turn heat to low and stir in cream cheese until melted, followed by pepper jack and cheddar cheese until melted. Add milk to thin to desired consistency if desired.
Serve with tortilla chips/fritos and additional garnishes as desired.

Yes, you can make it. I usually just buy a good one though and usually can't tell the difference. Basically you toast, rehydrate, and grind dried chilis.

I would use a tablespoon everywhere it called for a teaspoon. But that's just how I roll.

Here is the closest I could find to the recipe i use. Be wary of anything that includes tomatoes in the ingredients!
