Taco Soup

Fall is quickly approaching, which means soup weather!

Tonight I decided to make Taco Soup for the husband and I.

My mom makes the best taco soup, so I just went off of what I thought she does and did my own thing as well.

1/2 pound of ground beef

1/2 yellow sweet onion

1 package of taco seasoning

1 16 oz can of chili beans w/liquid 

1 15 oz can of kidney beans w/ liquid 

1 15 oz can of garbanzo beans w/liquid 

Frozen corn (I'm weird, I don't like canned corn, so I didn't measure the corn)

1 8 oz can tomato sauce

1 14.5 oz can of diced tomatoes

2 cups of water

1 package of taco seasoning mix 

In a skillet, cook your ground beef until brown. Drain and set aside.

Place the ground beef, onion, chili beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, corn, tomato sauce, diced tomatoes, water and taco seasoning in slow cooker. Stir to blend ingredients. Cook on high for a few hours. You can cook this in a pot very easily, but the slow cooker was very convenient today. :)

I like to top my soup with cheese, sour cream and fritos. Nick likes to top his with lots of cheese and sour cream.

And of course, it's soup... LEFTOVERS! This soup freezes really well. So we froze some and Nick can take some to work tomorrow.

There you have it, Taco Soup. Enjoy!
