Mexican chilli soup recipe
information
This amount of Tabasco gives a 'peppery' bite. If unavailable, use chilli powder. Drained canned butter beans or cannellini beans can be used here instead of the red kidney beans and a small red pepper, thinly sliced, can be added with the onion.
ingredients
175 g (6 oz) lean minced beef
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
15 g (1/2 oz) plain flour
225 g (8 oz) can tomatoes
1/2 teaspoon Tabasco
850 ml (1 1/2 pints) beef stock
salt and freshly ground black pepper
425 g (15 oz) can red kidney beans, drained
fresh coriander or flat-leaved parsley, to garnish (optional)

method
1. Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion, minced beef and cumin. Cook over high heat until the meat is evenly browned, stirring
with a wooden spoon to remove any lumps and mix thoroughly.
2. Sprinkle in the flour and stir well, then add the tomatoes with their juice, the Tabasco and the stock.
3. Bring to the boil, stirring. Season to taste with salt and pepper and simmer, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
4. Add the drained beans, stir them in and cook for a further 5 minutes or until heated through. Transfer to a warmed serving dish, sprinkle with coriander, if liked, then serve the soup at once.
