Yummy Yummy! Must try sometime!

Oh yes! I try to go for the organic and "no salt added" options since it's mostly canned beans/veggies.

That's almost the same recipe I use but I add a packet of ranch to the mix and don't use hominy.

Ranch seasoning is awesome in it!!

Sounds good. I will definitely have to do ground beef instead of turkey, and leave out the yogurt. Thanks for posting.

I also prefer to use venison, elk, or moose meat. Extra lean hamburger is still ok.

Natural cheese made with 2% milk .... ehm...and where is the rest 98% coming from? Cheese is normaly a milk product, that's what I call natural cheese. This stuff from Kraft sounds disgusting. Happy we don't have stuff like that over here.

Oooh, good idea! I have both venison and elk in the freezer!

sounds yummy but super high in sodium. My ankles will swell to the size of Texas. Any amounts for freshly hydrated beans and vegetables?

if you made your own taco seasoning, you could drastically cut down on the sodium. You can also rinse the beans before adding to the soup.

It is made wtih 2% milk, it doesnt mean that the ingredients of the cheese is only 2%. Hee hee

Haha. It's 2% milk as in 2% milk fat. The milk is broken down into percentages in the States (Whole, 2%, 1%, Fat-free) so that people can decide what fat content they want to take into their bodies. 2% milk is often referred to as reduced-fat milk since it contains less fat than whole milk, which is 3.5% fat.

Edit: Beause my last comment was snarky

I was just about to respond to that too...cracked me up.

This soup sounds AMAZING! I am definitely going to give it a try. Thanks!

ah found a conversion for dry beans to canned. A heaping half-cup of dried beans = one 15-ounce can

Thanks for the information, sorry I got it wrong.
But I still think "natural cheese" is something different.

What a fine idea about the taco seasoning. Rinsing the beans is good too but i still think it would be less sodium to rehydrate from dry. I have to really watch the sodium thing. Everything canned is too high. So much for lazy on my part. Tho it's not too hard to soak beans overnight.

In the US, the word "natural" isn't regulated. They can put the word on anything. There is something called "raw milk cheese" but it can't be sold because it's unpasteurized.

HOWEVER... Natural cheeses can mean cheeses that are not processed like cottage cheese, cream cheese, cooked cheeses, or hard cheeses. Processed cheeses are things like Kraft singles, spray cheese, American cheese, and other cheese blends.

(I know way too much about cheese. No more Food Network for me!)

Oh, that's interesting. But you can by Mozzarella and Mozarella is a "raw milk cheese". Or do you have a special version?
