Queso Soup
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 4 Tablespoons butter
- 4 Tablespoons flour
- Salt and pepper
- 4 cups milk, divided use
- 2 cups shredded Mexican Cheese
- 1 package (1 oz.) taco seasoning
- 2 cans (10 oz each) mild Rotel, un-drained
- 1 can (15 oz. Can) pinto beans, drained
- 1 can (15 oz. Can) black beans, drained
- 1 can (16 oz Can) chili beans, un-drained
- 1 can (15 oz) of corn, drained
- 14 ounces tomato sauce
- Crushed tortilla chips and Mozzarella cheese for topping
Preparation Instructions
Put the ground beef in a large soup pot over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks and season with salt and pepper. When done, pour the meat into a strainer set over a bowl to drain off the grease. Leave meat in strainer and continue making the soup in the same soup pot.
Next, make a roux by melting the butter in the pot over medium heat. Once melted whisk in flour, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for one minute to make a paste.
Slowly whisk 1 cup of milk into your roux, and stir until thickened. This may take 5 or more minutes. Be patient and keep stirring so it doesn’t burn.
Stir in the meat, cheese, taco seasoning, Rotel, beans, corn, tomato sauce and remaining milk. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then lower heat to a simmer until warmed through or until ready to serve.
Serve with crushed chips and Mozzarella cheese.
It’s a Soup Fiesta, Ole’!
