Taco Soup

Ingredients:

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion (it also tastes great without the onion)

1 package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing dry mixture

1 package Taco seasoning (we use Taco Bell's mild version)

1 can stewed tomatoes (undrained)

1 can corn (undrained)

1 can green beans (undrained)
1 can pinto beans (drained and rinsed)

1 can kidney beans (drained and rinsed)

*the recipe I have also calls for 1 can ranch style beans, but I could never find them so we never used them. We just added extra beans instead.

Toppings:

Sour cream

Shredded cheese (any kind you like)

Tortilla chips - a must have :-)

Directions:

Brown the meat with the onion (chopped up). Drain the excess liquid.  In a large soup pot, add all the ingredients listed. DO NOT DRAIN THE VEGETABLES, add juice and all. Let simmer for about 20 minutes. If you want, serve with chips, enjoy!
