Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 tsp salt or more to taste
- 15 oz black beans or navy bean or chili beans (drained)
- 12 oz frozen vegetables
- 15 oz salsa
- 4 cups water
Instructions
- Set a frying pan to high heat and add the ground beef. Wait until it starts to sizzle, then turn down the heat to medium-high. Break up the beef into crumbles, using a spatula. Then cook for 5 minutes (stirring every minute) until meat is browned and cooked through.
- Turn off the heat and season the beef with salt. Stir to incorporate.
- Move the ground beef to a soup pot. Use a slotted spoon to leave as much of the cooking grease behind as possible.
- To the pot, add the can of beans, frozen vegetables, salsa, and four cups of water. Stir to mix it up.
- Turn the heat on high. Once the soup starts boiling, turn the heat down to a simmer (low). Cook for 15 minutes, then turn off heat.
- Check to see if soup needs more seasonings. If it's ready, move pot off of heat and ladle soup into bowls for serving.

Notes
- This recipe calls for just salt to be added, since the salsa is very flavorful. However, feel free to add any seasonings you love in chili
- If you use lean ground beef, there will not be much grease left behind in the frying pan
- No need to defrost the frozen vegetables, just add them right into the pot
