Tortilla Beef and Bean Soup

We have had rainy and cold weather recently, so I decided to take advantage of it and make soup! This soup is delicious. I adapted the recipe from one of my Weight Watchers cookbooks. It turned out really well and is super healthy.

Serves 6-8

Ingredients:

1 Ib lean ground meat
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp ground cumin
4 c beef broth
1 can diced fire roasted tomatoes with green chilies
2 cans ranch style pinto beans
1/4 c. fresh cilantro
shredded cheese
8 baked tortilla chips, coarsely broken

Directions:
1. Brown the meat in a large soup pot or dutch oven. Add the onions and garlic and saute until semi-soft. Add the chili powder and cumin, stir to distribute evenly.
2. Add the broth, tomatoes and beans; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Just before serving, stir in the cilantro. Ladle the soup into bowls and top with cheese and tortilla chips.
