Mexican tomato soup with dumplings.

This soup combines traditional Mexican flavors like tomatoes, hominy, and chiles, and adds in bite sized corn dumplings for a soup that is rich and filling without any meat. This soup is quick and easy to make, and using shortcuts like RO*TEL diced tomatoes with green chiles makes it even easier!

 

The wide variety of RO*TEL flavors makes it a great choice for all kinds of cooking, from meatless meals to game time favorites like Cincinnati Chili.

Are you creating a big snacking spread for the Big Tournament? Looking for ways to spice up game day and save money at the same time? #JustAddRotel is the perfect way to spice up your favorite recipes. From guacamole to pot roast sliders, adding a can of RO*TEL makes a traditional game day recipe into something extraordinary.

I used diced tomatoes with mild chiles in my soup, and it was nicely spiced, but you could spice it up even more and use the tomatoes with haberno peppers!
