Southwest Beef and Black Bean Soup

This week we are highlighting healthy dinner recipes.  When I think of healthy recipes I often think of Green Salad recipes. But during the winter I love to make a lot of soup recipes. So today I am sharing a quick and easy Southwest Beef and Black Bean soup recipe with you.

Things to note:

• I use Zaycon 93/7 lean ground beef. It is so lean it does not require any draining of fat.
• You can use any kind of Stewed tomatoes, I like the Rotel because of the extra spice and flavor.
• The lime, cilantro, cheese and sour cream do not have to be added, but they sure enhance the flavor.
• To save on dishes I fry my meat and cook my soup all in the same stock pot.
• This is a doubled recipe to serve 8 because I love to have leftovers for lunches.
• Corn would also be a good addition to this soup.
