How to Make Taco Soup for Dinner

Fall is on the way so taco soup is a perfect addition to your fall and winter dinner line up. It's also great to have on hand for Sunday football. I can't believe I just mentioned football here twice in one week. I still don't even understand the game but I do love the food!

I received this taco soup recipe last year from a great woman, Beth, who is a blogger and Mom of four. She knows a bit about big families like I do, so this was a great find. Taco soup is easy to make, delicious and kids love it.

This would be great with a cool salad and a loaf of fresh bread.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 pound ground meat (browned/drained)
• 1/2 onion chopped
• 1 can stewed tomatoes
• 1 1/2-2 can water
• 1 16 oz can rotel tomatoes
• 1 12 oz can white corn
• 1 12 oz can hominy
• 1 16 oz can ranch style beans
• 1 16 oz can pinto beans
• 1 pkg taco seasoning
• 1 pkg. ranch dressing

1. Brown ground beef in a skillet. Drain completely.
   
   Peel and chop onion into bite sized pieces.

2. Mix all ingredients together in a large stock pot. Cook on medium low for 30 minutes.

3. Serve with either Fritos. There are also a great variety of chips available that would be great with this. Try anything from blue corn chips to plain taco chips. Add shredded cheese and sour cream.
   
   I also make cornbread muffins with this. To make it heartier, add leftover rotisserie chicken to the soup. Enjoy easy taco soup anytime you need a great last minute recipe!
