Taco Soup (recipe)

I made this for dinner last night and a few people have asked me for the recipe. Here it is. :)

Taco Soup

1 ½ lbs hamburger (I’ve made it with 1 pound just fine. Just not as meaty)
1 onion, chopped
16 oz can tomato sauce (I used diced tomatoes instead)
8 oz can tomato sauce
3 cups water
2 cans whole kernel corn, don’t drain
2 cans kidney beans, don’t drain (I usually do 1 can black beans, 1 can kidney beans)
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 (4.5 oz) can green chilies
1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch original buttermilk dressing
Garlic Powder to taste

Brown the hamburger and onion. Season the meat as you wish. I usually toss in pepper, garlic powder, season-all, and onion powder.

Add the other ingredients and bring to a boil. Simmer for at least ½ hour, stirring frequently.

Serve with a dollop of sour cream, shredded cheese, and chips or Fritos. I usually skip the chips and just use sour cream and shredded cheese.

You can also make this with chicken and it’s really good too.
