Queso Soup

Put the ground beef in a large soup pot over medium heat. Break it up as it cooks and season with salt and pepper. When done, pour the meat into a strainer set over a bowl to drain off the grease. Leave meat in strainer and continue making the soup in the same soup pot.

Next, make a roux by melting the butter in the pot over medium heat. Once melted whisk in flour, salt and pepper to taste, and cook for one minute to make a paste.

Slowly whisk 1 cup of milk into your roux, and stir until thickened. This may take 5 or more minutes. Be patient and keep stirring so it doesn’t burn.

Stir in the meat, cheese, taco seasoning, Rotel, beans, corn, tomato sauce and remaining milk. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then lower heat to a simmer until warmed through or until ready to serve.

Serve with crushed chips.
