Taco Soup

This is a husband favorite recipe. The first time I made it I followed a recipe and didn't think it was going to turn out well...but lo and behold, the husband raved about it...go figure. Then again one of his most requested meals is tacos...so I probably should've known that taco soup would be a hit with him. This time around I made a few adjustments to the original recipe and the husband's raving continued. It's an easy recipe that can be thrown in the crockpot and left alone for up to 10 hours. You could make it on the stovetop too if you don't like the whole crockpot thing. Also, it makes a TON of soup so you can cut the recipe in half if you want. Hope you enjoy it!

What you need

- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 packet GF taco seasoning
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 can Rotel
- 2 cans kidney beans
- 2 cans pinto beans
- 2 cans corn

Toppings:
- Shredded cheese
- Green onion
- Sour cream
- Corn chips



Directions
- Brown the ground beef and drain

- Throw the onions in the skillet and cook for a few minutes

- Add in the ground beef and the taco seasoning

- Add 3/4 C of water and stir to combine

- Add the ground beef to the crockpot

- Pour the ranch dressing mix on top of the meat

- Drain and rinse the beans and add them to the crockpot

- Add in the diced tomatoes, Rotel and corn

- Add 3 cups of water and stir

- Cook on low for 8-10 hours (the longer the better) or on high for 4-5 hours

- The soup is good on its own, but the toppings really add a lot of flavor

The husband always requests hot sauce with his bowl!

I like mine with lots of green onion, sour cream and cheese
