Mexican Cheese Soup

This is an adaptation of a recipe I cut from a magazine many years ago. It is a very hearty meal-in-a-bowl. Enjoy!


1 pound ground beef
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 cup whole kernel corn
1 cup chopped potato
1 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup carrot slices
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 teaspoons beef bouillon crystals
1/2 to 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 jar any kind Mexican cheese dip

Brown ground beef in large saucepan, drain. Add remaining ingredients, except for the cheese dip and potatoes, and simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring now and then. Add the potatoes (you could add them at the beginning, but they will disintegrate by the time the soup is done. Which isn't actually a terrible thing.) Stir in cheese dip and heat gently. Makes 4 to 6 servings.
