Taco Soup January 24, 2009
Posted by Teresa in : Dinner, Lunch , trackbackAll the best ingredients from tacos! Get a big pot and get going!
- one package of Veggie Ground Round (or 1 lb ground beef)
- half an onion, minced, about 1/4 cup
- 1 can of mixed beans (“bean medley” of PC Organics worked well), including the juice from the can
- 1 can diced tomatoes (I also had a fresh tomato, so I diced that and threw it in)
- 1 cup frozen corn (or 1 can of corn niblets)
The original recipe also called for 1 pkg taco seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix, but I just added a little chili powder, salt and pepper. If you use real beef, brown it thoroughly first, then add other ingredients. I highly recommend the Veggie Ground Round, as it’s easier, better for you, and tastes great! Heat up all ingredients until they are warmed through. Serve with
- 1 avocado, pitted and cut into pieces (or you could use guacamole)
- sour cream
- tortilla chips
You can crunch up the tacos like adding crackers to soup, or just munch on them on the side. The avocado and sour cream add SO much to the flavour — don’t leave them out! The original recipe also called for 1 can of hominy, but I had no idea where I could get that. The soup was great without it! Enjoy! 
This recipe came from a 4H cookbook I bought just before Christmas! It’s huge – I am looking forward to trying more recipes from it!
