Can't Resist Thursday

Taco Soup

This is one of my favorite soups and I think I will be making it Sunday if I get a chance :) ENJOY!

Soup:

• 1 lb of lean ground beef (I used 94/6)
• 1/2 sweet yellow onion, diced
• 3-4 garlic cloves, minced (not pictured)
• 1 can of pinto beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can of kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 cup of frozen corn
• 2 cans of diced tomatoes
• 1 4.5 oz can of diced green chilies
• 1/2 oz of package of ranch salad dressing mix (half a packet)
• 1 Pack of Taco seasoning 
• 1 tsp of chili powder

1.) Heat a Dutch oven over medium heat then add the ground beef. Add all the taco seasonings and mix into the ground beef, making sure to break it up into crumbles. Add the diced onion and garlic then mix thoroughly and cook for 4-5 minutes.

2.) Add the beans, corn, tomatoes, green chilies and ranch dressing packet, mix well then cover and simmer on low for 2 hours, stir occasionally. Taste and re-season with sea salt or pepper if needed.

Toppings:

• Sour cream
• Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• Green onions, diced
• Fritos

 

Ladle the soup into bowls then top with corn fritos, soup cream, cheddar cheese and green onions. Enjoy.
