Taco Soup

We really like to spice this one up by substituting ranch style beans for the kidney beans and adding 2-3 ancho chilis in adobo. Yum! The corn really cuts the heat as does the cheese…can be left out without missing it!

I’m beginning to think that the people that post "Mexican" recipes that use kidney beans are from up North. Substitute kidney’s with Ranch Style or Pinto.

I made this soup and it was great. I made one adjustment and that was adding a chopped onion when I was browning the ground beef. I also drained the ground beef before adding the rest of the ingredients. It is a keeper soup for us.

I like this it is quick and easy! replaced black beans for kidney or you could substitue pinto..
Yummy

I’VE BEEN MAKING THIS SOUP FOR YEARS. IT’S WONDERFUL!.. BEEF OR CHICKEN BROTH SUBSTITUTED FOR WATER ADDS MUCH FLAVOR. ANY BEAN WORKS JUST FINE! WELL, NOT GREEN ONES, OF COURSE!

What size cans of corn, beans, and tomato sauce?

For the cans with the exception of the tomato sauce, use the 14.5 – 15 ounce cans. Different manufactors put their food in different size of cans. You know this recipe is highly flexible. I normally use this use to help me clean out my pantry.

I have tweeked this soup some more. I have added a can of black beans plus a can of Bush’s Grillin Beans – Black bean fiesta, plus some red and green peppers while I am browning the meat. Don’t drain the beans !!

Those sound like some really nice tweeks you have made. I was wondering how those Bush’s Grillin beans tasted, but I can see you gave them your seal of approval. I’ll often throw in other random veggies that are in my refrigerator.

Besides cheese & chips…garnish with sour cream, cilantro & a drizzle of hot pepper sauce for a colorful,beautiful restaurant quality meal in a bowl,

HAS ANYONE EVER PUT POTATOES IN THIS SOUP? THIS RECIPE SOUNDS WONDERFUL. DO I DOUBLE EVERYTHING IF I WANT MORE?

This recipe doubles very well. I have not added potatoes, but if you do I would add some additional water, this soup is fairly thick.

This soup is great. We also add a package of ranch salad dressing mix (the powdered kind)to the ground beef.

I make this all the time, but I add 1 can of pinto beans, and a package of ranch salad dressing mix and it is amazing! I also top with sour cream along with the cheese and tortilla strips.

Oh yeah, and I use 1 can of original Rotel instead of tomato sauce.

This soup is kinda of like chili.
