Taco Soup

We went to a Halloween party at my in laws and they made taco soup. I have never had this soup before and I was very impressed. I think it would be equally good with ground beef. I love adding new soups to my repertoire.

Taco Soup

--2 cans of kindey beans

--2 cans of pinto beans

--2 cans of corn

--1 large can of diced tomatoes

--1 can tomatoes and chiles

--1 packet taco seasoning

--1 packet ranch dressing mix

--1 lb browned ground turkey or hamburger (optional.)

--shredded cheese and sour cream

The Directions:

--brown meat if you are going to use it

--drain fat and add to crockpot stoneware insert

--sprinkle seasoning packets on top of meat

--drain and rinse the beans and add

--add the ENTIRE contents of the corn and tomato cans
--stir.

cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or on high for 4-5. I think the longer you cook soup, the better, so if you have the time, opt for cooking on low. Stir well, and serve with a handful of shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
