Donna's Notes
This is the perfect recipe to clear out your pantry! You can add in different types of canned products and it will always taste amazing! Cans that go well together are any type of beans, chili, tomatoes, green beans, corn, etc. Even a tomato soup or cream of chicken or cream of mushroom soup will work in moderation.
You can also add in pasta or ground beef for a heartier soup (even though this one is plenty hearty in my opinion!)
If you have fresh ingredients such as sour cream, parsley, or cilantro, these taste great with this soup. You can also eat this soup alongside a side of chips or even cornbread.
Because you are not draining and rinsing any of the contents of each can, it can increase your sodium intake. You can do a couple of things to help decrease the amount of sodium that you are eating by: 1. Buy low sodium canned products- especially in your beans and tomatoes.
2. Drain and rinse the cans of beans. Pour in about 1 cup of water or low sodium chicken broth.
This soup can last for up to 1 week. Even though you can technically freeze this soup, the texture of the Velveeta cheese may change. If you plan on freezing this, you may want to only put Velveeta cheese in the soup that you intend to eat right away, and freeze the rest of the soup. You can always add in the Velveeta cheese later once it’s thawed and you are ready to eat it again.
