Mom’s Taco Soup
Ingredients
- 2 to 3 pounds ground beef
- 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
- 1 can dark red kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 1 can of red beans or pinto beans washed and drained
- 2 cans of shoepeg corn drained
- 2 packages of taco seasoning
- 2 packages of powdered ranch dressing (this is a key ingredient)’
- 1 16 oz. can of shot tomatoes/stew tomatoes (don’t drain these)
- 2 cans of rotel tomatoes (if they don’t have this just use more stew tomatoes and add chili powder)
- 1 can of water (use the tomato can). If you have a lot of ground beef then you might add some extra water. Make it more of a stew than a soup.
Directions
- Brown the beef over the stove and drain it. You could do this the night before.
- Throw all the ingredients in a pot and bring it to a boil.
- Turn to low and then let simmer as long as possible. Minimum of 2 hours, but you could simmer it all day.
- Add salt to taste
- Can serve with corn chips on the bottom and sour cream
- To make it extra spicy add chilis or chili powder
