My mom use to make this when I was a kid and I loved it. I never got her recipe but I found this one online.

Ingredients

3 pounds ground meat, I used pork
1 medium onion, chopped
2 Baker Russet Potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
3 15.5oz cans of dark red kidney beans, rinsed
3 10.75oz cans of condensed tomato soup
1 46oz bottle of tomato juice
3 teaspoons of chili powder
1 teaspoon of cumin
2 teaspoons of garlic powder
salt to taste
46 ounces or less of water depending how thick or thin you want the soup, I just filled the empty tomato juice bottle with water

Directions

Cook the meat with the onions in a big soup pot
Drain any grease after meat is cooked
Add half the tomato juice, then the spices, then add everything else
Bring to a boil, lower heat and then simmer for an hour or less until potatoes are soft.
Turn off the heat , let it cool down and enjoy

This makes a TON of soup so make sure you have a big enough pot. The most expensive part of this soup is the meat depending on what type you use. I was able to get ground pork for $2 a pound. This does freeze well but let it thaw in the fridge for 2-3 days before you heat it back up.

And I have no idea why FA turned the picture sideways...
