Recipes FAQ

What can I use instead of ground beef?

You can use ground turkey or chicken, or even diced chicken breast. If you want to make it vegetarian, you can use crumbled tofu or tempeh, or just skip the meat altogether and add more beans.

Can I make this soup in a slow cooker?

Yes, you can. Just brown the beef and sauté the onions and garlic on the stovetop first, then add everything to the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours or on high for 3-4 hours.

Can I make this soup spicier?

Yes, you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper or add some diced jalapeño or serrano peppers for more heat.

Recipe Tips

  • For a creamier soup, you can add a can of drained and rinsed white beans or a dollop of cream cheese or sour cream.
  • You can customize this soup by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or sweet potatoes.
  • If you don't have chicken broth, you can use beef or vegetable broth, or even water.
  • If you have leftovers, you can use them to make a spicy southwestern chili by adding some tomato sauce and chili powder, and serving it over rice or with cornbread.
