Taco Soup

On my old hunk of junk desktop that's slower than frozen molasses because my bf's  laptop fried, so I can't get access to my vaca photos. So a recipe!

Taco Soup
This soup is insanely easy to make and really really good because it tastes even better as leftovers. It makes a lot though. Even with just a few cans of stuff. If you're making it for less than 4 people, prepare to be eating it for a while. It is great to have on hand for cold rainy days or when you just don't feel like cooking, because it's pretty healthy. Not much fat in it.

Serves: A lot...
Ingredients:
  • 1 package Taco seasoning
  • 1 pound ground meat (optional)
  • 1 large can of diced or crushed tomatoes (crushed makes a thicker consistency)
  • 1 can of yellow corn
  • 1 can of white corn
  • 2-3+ cans of beans (kidney, black, red, chili, etc. What ever kinds you like.)
  • Cornbread, box mix or from scratch, or tortilla chips.
Directions:

Optional: Cook the meat in the bottom of a large pot (don't add oil) and add the taco seasoning to it.

  1. Open all the cans and dump everything in to a large pot. If you didn't add meat, add the taco seasoning now.
  2. Heat through.
  3. Done. I said it was easy.
Also optional, but highly recommended: Bake up some corn bread while the soup/stew is heating.

Serving suggestions: Put a piece of cornbread in the bottom of the bowl and pour soup over top. You can add sour cream or cheese if you'd like. I personally prefer it with out.

P.S. You can easily double (or triple) this for a potluck or large gathering. Just add more cans of everything!
