8 Can Soup (Packed with Potassium)

Jennifer S.

Make it from a Can Soup has been around for a long time, and no two recipes are identical, but they basically amount to this:
7-8 cans of whatever you want. Don’t drain the cans. Just add them into the pot.
 Some kind of cheese stirred in at the end. Velveeta isn't fancy, but it sure is tasty in this soup!

Recently a friend of mine was in the hospital for a very low potassium level and I was looking for something that was jammed packed with just that! SO I looked up some foods high in potassium and thought hey most if not all of those are in 7- Can Soup, but I reached just a step further and added the canned pumpkin, you'd never know it was in there!

Ingredients:

2 cans (15-ounce, each) Chili Con Carne (your favorite brand with both meat and kidney beans)

1 can (15-ounce) Black Beans

1 can (15-ounce) Diced Tomatoes

1 can (15-ounce) Corn (I Used Fiesta Variety)

1 can (10 Ounce) Rotel

1 can (15-ounce) Pumpkin Puree (NOT pie mix)

Salt And Pepper, to taste

1 Bay Leaf

1/2 tsp Powdered Oregano

4 ounces Velveeta, Cubed

Without draining the cans, empty all cans, and seasonings into a large crock pot set to high heat.

Stir WELL.

Bring to a boil, 1-2 hours, then reduce the heat to low.

Stir occasionally, stuff likes to sink to the bottom of the crock pot, and stick to the sides. 

Check seasonings before adding cheese. I added more pepper (Fresh cracked) for balance.
Dice the cheese and stir it into the soup until melted.

Serve immediately.
