• 1 (14 oz) can no-salt added stewed tomatoes, undrained
• 1 (11 oz) can of bean with bacon soup, undiluted
• 1 (10 oz) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
• 1 (11 oz) can of whole kernel corn, undrained
• 2/3 to 2 cups water
• 2 bay leaves
• 3 Tbsp. chopped fresh cilantro (optional though makes for a great flavor!)
• 1 2 tsp. ground cumin
• 1 cup (or so) shredded sharp cheddar cheese

*What ever you like. I combine all three

Directions

Combine all ingredients except cheese in a large pot and bring to boil. Cover, reduce heat and simmer about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaves, top with cheese and serve.

You can also prepare this in your crockpot/slow cooker.

You can serve these in french bread (small french bread rounds, scooped up) for fun (Very San Franciscan). This is great for a main course.

I use to serve this to my kids before going trick or treating, and they now serve it to their kids!
