Taco Soup

We have been craving taco soup. It is such a comfort food! We’ve had a lot of  rainy days recently,

and I decided to make some. I know, it doesn’t sound healthy, considering all the canned

veggies it requires, but there are ways to keep it “healthier”.  Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef (I used a lean ground beef)

1 pk. taco seasoning (low sodium, no msg or artificial flavorings)

1 large can diced tomatoes (all natural)

1 can pinto beans (fat free)

1 can kidney beans

1 can rotel tomatoes

1 can corn

Sour cream (for garnish) (it was also all natural)

Salsa (for garnish) (organic)

Shredded cheese (for garnish) (all natural)

Tortilla chips (to eat along, or for dipping)

Directions:

1. Brown ground beef and drain

2. Add taco seasoning

3. Put the following ingredients into a large pot or crock pot:

    beef with seasoning, diced tomatoes, pinto beans, kidney beans, rotel, corn

4. Cook on medium heat until hot. I put everything in the crock pot on low, until

    I get home from work! Ladle the soup into a bowl, garnish with shredded cheese,

    sour cream and salsa. Don’t forget the tortilla chips!

Give this soup a try! If you want to double the recipe, it freezes well. What is one of your comfort foods or rainy day soup?  Enjoy!

Blessings,
