Soups on Our Menu: Ground Beef & Beans Soup

I found this recipe on Leanna's pages here. When I first read it, I thought I would make the soup for us. The day came yesterday - I was ready to cook it. However, I modified the recipe (ingredients) a bit, to adjust it to the Texas cooking style and our likes as well.

What I used:

• 1lb ground beef,
• 3 celery stalks - cut into pieces,
• 1 big onion - as above,
• 3 garlic cloves - chopped,
• 1 tsp salt,
• 1 tsp cumin,
• 1 Tsp chili powder,
• 1/2 tsp ground black pepper,
• 4 cups water,
• 2 chicken bouillon cubes,
• 1 can diced tomatoes with green chili,
• 1 can cannellini beans - drained,
• 1 can red kidney beans - drained
• grated Mexican cheese (Queso Quesadilla) & chips to serve with the soup.

While making the soup, I followed the procedure given in Leanna's recipe.

At the end, when the soup was already in the bowls, I sprinkled it with some grated cheese.
It was a very nice meal which we both enjoyed. Certainly, the recipe is a keeper.

Thank you Leanna!
