#1,477: Mexican Tortilla Soup

1 lb. lean ground beef (I used ground turkey)

2 cans  (14-1/2 oz. each) beef broth

16 oz Chunky Salsa

1 can  (7 oz.) corn, undrained

1 cup tortilla chips (1 oz.), crushed (I omitted)

1 cup Mexican Style Finely Shredded Four Cheese (I omitted)

Can of black beans, drained and rinsed

Taco seasoning packet

Onion, diced

Cilantro, chopped
4 oz diced green chiles

Brown ground beef and onion in large saucepan; drain.  I added a packet of taco seasoning and made according to the package.  

Add broth, salsa and corn; stir. This is when I also added the black beans, cilantro and green chiles.  I also added this to a crockpot and cooked on low for about 6-8 hours.  If cooking on the stovetop: Bring to boil; simmer on low heat 5 min. or until heated through.

SERVE topped with crushed chips and cheese if desired.
