Cowboy Soup
Description
This soup begins by sautéing ground beef and onion until browned and drained of excess fat to avoid greasiness. A selection of canned vegetables, including whole kernel corn, mixed vegetables, ranch beans, diced and Rotel tomatoes, plus Spanish rice are added to the pot along with beef broth and tomato sauce. The canned ingredients contribute convenience and a variety of vegetable textures and mild sweetness.
The soup is heated through until flavors meld into a rich, savory broth with the beef and rice providing substance and heartiness. The tomato sauce and canned tomatoes bring acidity and body. Extra beef broth can be added to reach desired soup thickness.
This dish is suitable as a filling, all-in-one meal, especially comforting on cooler days. The recipe includes an option to prepare the soup in a slow cooker by browning the meat and onion first and then cooking the combined soup on low for four hours, allowing flavors to develop gradually.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 ounce can corn whole kernel
