Soup Ingredients
- 1 (15-ounce) can no-beans chili
- 1 (15-ounce) can black beans
- 1 (15-ounce) can kidney beans
- 1 (15-ounce) can pinto beans
- 1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1 (15-ounce) can corn (such as fiesta style)
- 1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes with green chiles (such as Rotel)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Finishing Ingredients
- 8 oz. processed cheese (such as Velveeta), cubed
- Fresh cilantro, for serving
- Combine all canned ingredients: Without draining, empty the no-beans chili, black beans, kidney beans, pinto beans, diced tomatoes, corn, and diced tomatoes with green chiles into a large pot. This preserves the flavorful juices from each can that contribute to the soup’s rich broth.
- Simmer the soup: Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to allow all the flavors to meld together. Season with salt and pepper to taste during this time.
- Add and melt the cheese: Stir in the cubed processed cheese gradually until it fully melts into the soup, creating a creamy texture that enriches the flavor profile.
- Serve: Ladle the hot soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro for a bright, fresh aroma and taste. Serve immediately for the best experience.
Notes
- Using canned ingredients makes this soup quick and convenient to prepare with minimal prep time.
- Do not drain the cans to retain maximum flavor in the broth.
- Processed cheese gives a creamy, smooth texture; alternatively, you can use shredded cheddar or a similar melting cheese.
- Fresh cilantro adds a fresh herbal note, but you can substitute with parsley or omit if preferred.
- Adjust salt and pepper to your taste as canned ingredients can vary in salt content.
- For a spicier soup, add more diced tomatoes with green chiles or a dash of hot sauce.
