Southwest Vegetable Soup

It's cold outside and this time of the year I especially love having soup for lunch and dinner. This recipe is extremely easy and cheap and comes from my favorite bakery. It is called the Friendship House in Wamego, KS. They were voted the best bakery in NE Kansas and they have the most amazing Cinnamon rolls, soups, and cookies you have ever tasted! Here is one of their soup recipes. This meal costs just around $5.00 but most of the ingredients you probably already have in your pantry. It serves 5-6 8 oz servings or in our case, 4 generous servings. Try it for yourself! You simply just dump everything into the pot and let it simmer for an hour, talk about easy :)

Ingredients:

• 1/2 can tomato soup
• 1 can cut green beans (drained)
• 1 can diced tomatoes (not drained)
• 1/2 can Rotel tomatoes
• 1- 4 oz can chopped green chilis
• 1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
•  3cups water
• 2 1/2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil.
2. Simmer at least 1 hour over medium heat.
3. When ready to serve, top with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
