Taco Soup - Linda Mastantuono Van Poperin (and an old WW Recipe)
1 lb ground beef
1 large jar Great northern beans or 4 or 5 cans of beans with liquid-use all the same or mix them
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can corn with liquid
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch mix
In a large soup pot, brown the beef and drain the fat. Add the beans, tomatoes, and corn. Add one or 2 cans of water depending on how thick you want the soup. Then add the 2 pkgs of seasoning mix. Stir well and simmer for ~ 15 min.
That's it - quick and easy. I like to serve this with grated cheddar on top or a big blob of sour cream.
Other topping suggestions : chopped onion or jalepenos
Serve with corn bread or tortilla chips or Fritos
This is good for a crowd b/c everyone can have fun with the toppings. Hopefully we'll be able to be part of a crowd again soon!
Also - important for days like we're living in at the moment when having shelf stable ingredients is important. Can make it w/out the beef and it's still good! Quarantine Food!
