Taco Soup

I'm starting the soup obsession in my house.

Who doesn't love a meal that has every food group in one pan and you can make fairly quickly and it practically screams COMFORT FOOD when you eat it? Or drink it as it were? Not sure. :-)

This taco soup recipe was another find from the internet and it is so easy and so, so tasty. We love bread in this house, but we try not to serve in addition to our meals very often, because, HELLO, the belly fat that I am already fighting in my mid-30's.

SO, we tend to serve this alone and I usually add some sour cream, a little cheese and sometimes some soup crackers (yes- I know this is a bread, but whatever)

Here's the recipe:

Cook Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour, 5 minutes

Ingredients:

2 pounds ground beef ( I use 1 lb. lean beef and 1 lb. ground turkey)
1 large onion, chopped
1 can pinto beans
1 can whole kernel corn ,drained
1 can stewed tomatoes - mexican style (I just used petite diced)
1 can Rotel tomatoes
1 pkg. taco seasoning mix
1 pkg. original hidden valley ranch dressing (dry)
2 1/2 cups water or more, to make soup broth
Preparation:

Brown ground beef and onions in a large pan, drain off fat. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an hour or so. When ready, serve in big soup bowls, and have a skillet of hot cornbread to eat, too.


Parent Reviews: Love it!
Kid Reviews: They love it too as long as there are crackers involved.
