Cans of tomato soup are combined with kidney beans, tomato juice, potatoes and ground beef seasoned with chili powder in this recipe designed to feed a crowd.
Day-old bread thickens this soup from Cathy Whims of Nostrana in Portland, giving it a custardy texture. The soup has a spicy kick, so cut back on the chile flakes if you'd prefer a milder flavor.
Sweet potatoes, carrots, and apples are pureed with red lentils and seasoned with ginger, cumin, and chili powder for this warm and flavorful winter soup.
This recipe has been adopted and edited by me in February 2005. You can easily make this dish a little hotter by adding more fresh ginger. I hope you will enjoy this newly edited recipe.
Simple and delicious. It's also vegan if you don't add the cheese at the end. If you prefer a more spicy soup, add a dash or two of hot sauce before serving.
