Tamale Soup

Gluten-Free frozen or canned tamales

Gluten-Free

If you cannot find the canned items with a gluten-free designation, then fresh items are recommended and should be thoroughly rinsed before cooking. I recommend they be precooked then added just like you would the canned versions.

Ingredients

2 cans beef tamales in chili sauce or precooked, thawed frozen beef tamales (GF)
Tip: If using frozen tamales add a teaspoon of masa harina mixed with ¼ cup water or the beef broth to make a saucier mixture. Shake well before adding.
1 lb lean ground beef
2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon cumin powder
1 can creamed corn (may substitute one cup plain corn or fresh corn) (GF)
4 ounces mild green chilies (GF)
1 can white hominy (GF)
1/2 cup chopped onion
2 cans pinto beans (GF)
1 can stewed tomatoes (GF)
2 poblano peppers seeded, rinsed well and chopped
1 can beef broth (GF)
*Optional, crushed tortillas chips, sour cream, chopped green onion with tops, grated cheddar cheese for toppings.

Instructions

Cook the crumbled ground meat with the onion, poblano peppers, chili powder and cumin and stir until beef is browned. Add to a large Dutch oven or soup pot.
Stir in hominy, tomatoes, beans, corn and broth (including water and masa harina if using frozen tamales). Bring to an initial boil, reduce the heat and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes.
Near end of cooking cycle, remove paper from tamales and chop across (not lengthwise) into bite-sized pieces. Stir tamales gently into soup pot and heat another 5 minutes.
Top with crushed tortilla chips (GF), chopped green onion, sprinkle of cheddar cheese (GF) and dollop of sour cream (GF) if desired. This is also good with cornbread, but I prefer the crushed tortilla chips.

Tips

More and more products are now showing the gluten-free designation on the label. If you have a gluten or wheat allergy, celiac, or other medical condition that requires a gluten-free diet you should always choose prepackaged foods with gluten-free on the label. Fresh fruits and vegetables should be thoroughly washed to prevent cross-contamination
