My pantry and freezer are getting rather bare. It will be time for a trip to the grocery soon. Yesterday I needed something quick for lunch. My hubby was home; so, it had to be something good. The kiddos are happy with PBJ. I didn't find much to inspire me in the refrigerator. So, I turned to my cupboards.
I found a can of black beans, a can of mexican style corn, and a can of off-brand Rotel tomatoes with chiles.
I put it all in a two quart saucepan and added a little taco seasoning. It was pretty with the red, yellow, and black.
Goodness, it was delicious! It's definitely a keeper for a quick dinner. I served it with grilled cheese sandwiches made with homemade whole wheat bread.
Now, I prefer not to use canned goods often; because, I believe fresh and frozen to be more nutritious. This was a great emergency dinner; I think I'll keep these ingredients on hand just in case!
Spicy Can Opener Soup
1 can black beans
1 can Mexican corn with peppers
1 can Rotel type tomatoes w/chiles
1 package of Taco Seasoning
Mix and simmer 5-10 minutes.
Updated 11/10/13: My recipe was included in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook! They called it Spicy Pantry Soup!
I'm always on the hunt for new soup recipes! This sounds so good! Thanks for sharing!

I love it when meals come together like that, it sounds yummo!
ReplyDeleteJust in time for fall too! I love a quick and easy recipe and I most likely have these things on hand at any given time! Yummm!
ReplyDeleteHi Danni,
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly how I made the soup to begin with. It was just what I had in the cupboard.

You taught me a new term "can opener soup".
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing at SYC.
It worked for me Carol!
DeleteThis is brilliant, Laura! The black beans, Ro-Tel tomatoes, and taco seasoning I always have in my pantry. Now I'll keep corn as well--this sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well, sweet lady!
Dear Richella,
DeleteI usually have these canned items, too. That's what makes the recipe so great. Use it up, Wear it Out. Make it do, or Do Without!
Hubby is still job hunting. It's been over three months now. I'm learning more and more about living by faith.
Be blessed!
Laura
The soup does sound really good. We love soup so will have to give it a try! TFS! Exciting to be in GBP cookbooks. I have had some published in there. I have been collecting there books since early 90s.
ReplyDeleteIt is exciting. I hope you like the soup.
DeleteBlessings,
Laura
