    MEXICAN MINESTRONE

    WW

    List of Ingredients




    2 cans, 15 oz each, black beans rinsed and drained
    2 cans (14 oz each) Mexican-style stewed tomatoes, (DO NOT DRAIN)
    1 can (15 oz) chicken broth
    1 can (12 oz) vacuum-packed whole kernel corn (DO NOT DRAIN)
    1 or 2 medium red (or sweet) potatoes cut into ½ inch pieces
    1 cup salsa, medium
    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 heaping cup cut-up green beans (use frozen for convenience)

    Recipe



    Mix all the above in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low heat setting 6-8hours or until veggies are tender. Makes 8-10 servings! Delicious!


    Some options:

    For a heavily spiced soup, add 1 can of Mexican tomatoes and 1 can of mild rotel tomatoes. In my opinion, even the mild Rotel have a nice kick.

    Add peeled, cut up sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.

    Taste first – if wanted spicier, add some chopped jalapeno. If desired, add a few shakes of hot sauce.

    If you need to add any more liquid I would add a little chicken broth.
