Transformation: Kitchen


This post is part of my 31 Days of Transformation series. To read the rest of the series, click the tab above.


With the scrumptious cooler temps around here lately, our soup pot has been moved front and center. Today, I thought I would share with you one of our favorites.

This recipe couldn't be easier and is yummy too!


If you can open cans, you can make this soup.

Does opening cans count as cooking? Here is does!


Cowboy Soup

1 lb. hamburger
1 onion
1 can creamed corn
1 can Spanish rice with taco seasoning
2 cans mixed veggies
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can Rotel tomatoes

Brown the hamburger with the onion and salt and pepper. Drain the veggies if you want. Sometimes I do. Put everything together in a large soup pot or your crockpot and you have a quick, easy meal that might even taste better the next day.

I make a few adjustments to the recipe. I can't find the Spanish rice around here, so I substitute chili beans. If your family really likes corn (and mine does-all about the corn around here!) add another can. I also add a can of tomato juice because We like soupy soup.

Care to share your favorite soup recipe? I'd love to try it.

  5. Susan, Yes, opening cans and making soup is cooking :):) I love soups all through winter. Something is always ready to warm up and eat. Smiles, Susie

  6. Yes, opening cans and mixing things together certainly counts as cooking! And this soup sounds like a winner! I'm always looking for new recipes, and ones that are easy, quick and don't require a lot of unusual (i.e., hard to find) ingredients are winners in my book! Now that we've got fall weather, I'll definitely be making this soon! Thanks for sharing this!
