Thoughtless Thursday: Beef and Salsa Soup

Okay, technically this should be Beef and Picante soup because I used the Pace Picante Sauce I had a chance to try via the Foodbuzz Tastemakers Program.  I’ve always been a fan of Pace.  Love their commercials with the fresh fresh jalapenos.  Anyway it made for a fantastic soup.  Serves 4-6.  Just the right offering for this week’s Souper Sunday at Kahakai Kitchen!

Ingredients:

• 1 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp minced onion
• 1 small poblano pepper, minced
• 1 roasted red pepper, minced
• 1 roma tomato, minced
• 1 russet potato, diced
• 1 box beef stock
• 1 lb browned ground beef
• 1 jar Pace picante sauce
• 1 tsp parsley
• 1 can green beans
• 1/2 tsp paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• pinch salt
• pinch pepper
• 1 Tbsp masa flour

Directions:

1. Add everything but the masa flour to a crock pot.
2. Add another cup or two of water, enough to cover the ingredients.
3. Cook on low for 8 hours.
4. Add the masa flour and stir, cooking for another half hour.
5. Serve with a good crusty bread.
