Seven Can Soup
A hearty, easy-to-make seven-can soup packed with beans, tomatoes, and vegetables, perfect for quick dinners or potlucks, served over crunchy nacho chips.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine all cans of chili with beans, stewed tomatoes, whole kernel corn, Ro-Tel diced tomatoes, vegetable soup, and tomato soup in a slow cooker.
- Cook on low for about 2 1/2 hours.
- Taste and add salt as needed.
- Serve the soup over nacho chips.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra kick, consider adding a teaspoon of chili powder or a splash of hot sauce to the mix. You can substitute the chili with beans for a vegetarian option by using canned black beans or kidney beans instead. If you don’t have Ro-Tel, any diced tomatoes with green chilies will work well. Feel free to add additional vegetables such as bell peppers or zucchini for extra nutrition.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the soup hot over a bed of nacho chips for a delightful crunch. You can also top it with shredded cheese, sour cream, or sliced jalapeños for added flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of cornbread or a fresh garden salad. For a twist, try serving it with Quick Bar Cookies(From Mix) for dessert.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Seven Can Soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the soup in portioned containers for up to three months. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the soup, and warm it on the stove or in the microwave until heated through.
