Taco Soup
submitted by Mrs. T1 1/2 pounds ground beef (or use less -- even as little as 1/2 lb.)
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 can (28 oz.) crushed or diced tomatoes
1 can (14 oz.) kidney beans, not drained
1 can (17 oz.) whole kernel corn, not drained
1 can (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 package taco seasoning
1 to 2 cups water
Shredded cheddar cheese
Crushed tortilla chips
Brown beef in large heavy kettle or Dutch oven; drain off any fat and add onions. Cook until onions are tender. Add remaining ingredients except cheese and chips; simmer for 15 minutes. (Or, after browning the beef and onions, combine these with the remaining ingredients -- except cheese & chips -- in a slow cooker and cook for 3-4 hours on low.) Ladle into bowls; top with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips, to taste.
Yield: 4-6 servings.
This simple recipe has been a lifesaver for me so many times. Recently, I saw a young mom whom I'd given a homemade recipe book for her wedding some years ago. She was visiting at her Grandma's and thought, "What recipe can I make from memory?" She then told me, "It was your Taco Soup!" What a blessing to realize the cookbook had truly been a help to her.
