Hearty Taco Soup – easy to put together, and tastes great.

If you like Tortilla soup, this is the soup for you. It is a wonderful spicy soup. I like to garnish this with sour cream and chopped green onions as well as cheese.

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 packet taco seasoning mix
  • 14.5 ounces beef broth
  • 14.5 ounces can peeled diced tomatoes with garlic
  • 1 cup water
  • 15 ounces Ranch Style Beans with Jalapeno undrained
  • 8 ounces whole kernel corn
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon worcestshire sauce
  • 1/3 cup uncooked small pasta shells
  • 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In large pot brown meat. Drain fat. Mix everything together except pasta and cheese. Bring to a boil, then simmer 5 minutes. Add pasta and continue to simmer until pasta is tender, about 15 minutes. 
  • Add more water to adjust consistency, if desired. Garnish with cheese. I have tried this recipe and made some changes when I cook it. I leave out the cayenne pepper and I get the regular Ranch Style beans. 

Notes

My family doesn't like hot, spicy foods. Also, I noticed that the carrots do not get cooked enough in the short time it takes to stew. So I substitute a small can of carrots. I garnish with cheese in individual bowls, not the whole pot.
