TAMALE SOUP

Ingredients

• 1 pound Extra Lean Ground Beef
• ½ cups Chopped Onion
• 1-½ cup Chopped Green Pepper
• 1 can Stewed Tomatoes 14-16 Ounce Can (sometimes I Use Half Ro-Tel)
• 2 cans Pinto Beans (undrained)
• 1 can Creamed Style Corn
• 1 can Fat Free Beef Broth (14 Oz)
• 1 can White Hominy
• 2 cans Beef Tamales In Chili Sauce

Preparation

Cook together the meat, onion and green pepper until beef is browned. Add to a large soup pot. Stir in tomatoes, beans, corn and broth (I also add the hominy at this point, but it was not in the original recipe).
Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
While soup is simmering, remove paper wrapping from tamales and chop into bite-sized pieces (do not cut the tamales in half lengthwise, because this causes the meat to come out of the breading).
Stir in tamales and heat through.
