Recipe Tips

If you don’t eat low carb, you can add a can of kidney beans and it tastes great with cornbread.

Ground turkey can be substituted for ground beef.

Leftovers will keep in the refrigerator for 4 to 5 days and can be frozen.

How Spicy Is This Soup?

If you use “Hot” Rotel tomatoes and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, it has a moderate amount of heat. For more heat, double the amount of cayenne pepper or add 1/4 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.

    can you add beans to this and if so how much and what kind. My husband likes the soup at Shoney’s that is similar to this but has beans. thanks.

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      Yes, you can add a can of beans. Any type that you like.

  2. Adriene says:

    I will be trying this delicious soup this weekend I know I going to love it is simple to cook Thank you

  3. Lawrence Hill says:

    Perfect, how can I adjust the ingredients, and times to make this in an Instant Pot?

  4. Scott says:

    Can this be made on a stove top instead of a slow cooker?

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      Yes!

      1. Jessica S. says:

        How long should it be cooked on the stove?

        1. kelsey says:

          Wondering the same. Did you try this?

  5. Deb says:

    So tasty. I added a can of tomatoe sauce and big squirt of worschestire sauce as well as the cayenne with a pinch of red pepper flakes. So much tastier than my usual go to cabbage roll soup!

  6. Cassie says:

    One person said there was not enough liquid. When I make this Iโ€™m going to use beef broth instead of water and bouillon cubes….Iโ€™ll just eye ball it to personal taste.

    1. Christin Mahrlig says:

      If there is not enough liquid for your tastes, you can add beef broth or tomato juice.

      1. Jordan says:

        how much beef broth and water should i use instead of cubes

        1. Gina says:

          Just add an equivalent amount of broth to how much water is called for. (You can also substitute a couple of teaspoons of Better Than Boullion Base for the bouillon or broth.)

  7. Irene says:

    O need the rest of the nutrition info. How many Carbs ???

  8. Nikki says:

    I added some Hienz ketchup for a little extra flavor and it taste Great. I added the ketchup per taste

  9. Randy Parker says:

    We made this and it was dry, had to add tomato juice, was this possibly left out of the recipe by accident? The photo has MUCH more ‘liquid content’ than ours did. We didn’t drain off any of the juice from the canned vegetables either. Just curious what we did wrong.

    1. Sonya says:

      I add 2 cans crushed tomatoes and 1 regular size can tomatoe sauce…also add a couple potatoes

    2. Lori says:

      I made mine with taco flavored beef. Definitely a game changer!

  10. Anthony W Jones says:

    Where’s the rest of the nutrition facts. I’m diabetic and count carbs regularly. When you give the nutrition facts you should do just that. Disappointed in not knowing the rest of the facts on nutrition. I would try this recipe though. It looks and sounds so delicious. How about some more facts other than just the kcals

    1. BECKY DAVIS says:

      from myfitnesspal.com where you can copy a recipe in and it gives you the nutrition facts. hope this helps.
