Dutch Oven 7 Can Soup is a dump and go dinner that uses seven canned pantry staples and a packet of taco seasoning. Budget friendly, feeds a crowd, and ready in just 20 minutes.
Do not drain any of the cans. The liquid from the beans, tomatoes, and corn creates the soup broth.For a heartier version, brown 1 lb. ground beef, fresh Mexican chorizo, or add 2-3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken before adding the cans.Small shell pasta or elbow macaroni can be added during the last 10 minutes for a thicker, heartier soup.Adjust spice level by swapping mild Rotel for hot, using spicy taco seasoning, or adding cayenne/chipotle powder.For lower sodium, use low-salt or no-salt-added cans throughout.Toppings: shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, diced cilantro, green onions, fresh salsa, avocado, tortilla chips, lime wedges.Leftovers can be turned into a dip by slowly stirring in cubes of Velveeta cheese.Freezes well in airtight containers for up to 3 months.
