Notes
*You can use any combination of beans, corn, etc. in here. I also love chickpeas, white beans, hominy, and/or yellow corn.*You can use 2 (14 to 15 ounce) cans of diced tomatoes or 1 (28 ounce) can.*As a substitute for the diced green chiles, you can use 1 (10 ounce) can of diced tomatoes and green chiles in place of the 4 ounce can diced green chiles and 1 can of tomatoes.*For a vegetarian version, skip the ground meat and sauté the bell peppers and onions in 1 tablespoon oil. Add an extra can or two of beans (any type).*For a less spicy soup, be sure to use mild diced green chiles. You can also use less cayenne pepper or omit.
