Santa Fe Stew

It's no secret that I'm in love with all things Santa Fe.  If you've followed my blog for any amount of time you know I'm obsessed with The City Different.  And by obsessed I mean I email real estate links to Mr. Devilish Dish on a daily basis.  It's free to dream right?  When I found this recipe that belonged to my sweet "Aunt" Judy who recently passed away I knew I had to try it.  The name, Santa Fe Stew immediately caught my eye and I prepared it the next night.  Only 7 ingredients and one pot makes this the perfect weeknight meal.  It's like a cross between Taco Soup and Green Chile Stew (minus the green chiles!)  Add a side of cornbread or some flour tortillas and you've got a superb, simple Santa Fe-style supper!  (Say that five times fast!)
