Texas Soup

Brown 1 lb of ground beef Salt & Pepper to taste
Put into a soup pot
Add: Large can of crushed tomatoes (rinse all cans with water & add to pot ~ in all you’ll add about 4 cups of water or so)
2 cans (or more, if you want) beef broth
2 small cans of diced tomatoes
can of corn, cut green beans, & anything else you like
can of green diced chiles (I use the lge can, not the tiny one)
cut up carrots, zucchini, yellow crook neck squash, asparagus (put these all + the onion in the pot raw ~ they’ll cook up in the soup)
½ of a lge onion or 1 whole small one
Add a teaspoon of crushed or minced garlic & 1 tbs of chili powder (or to taste)
Stir all together, bring to a boil & then turn it down, cover & let simmer for a long time.

This is my own recipe & you can change it any way you like. You can add other veggies, more diced tomatoes, or canned beans & you can leave anything out you don’t like. I serve it with nice crusty French bread.
You can also add more of things you especially like ~ I just kind of do whatever I feel like, so you don’t have to feel limited. I add more chili powder than this recipe calls for. Grated cheese on top would be delish as well!
