Taco Soup

Taco Soup


1 lb ground beef
1 can red kidney beans, undrained
1 can corn, undrained
1 can stewed tomatoes, undrained
1/3 cup salsa
1 small can green chilies
4-5 tsp chili powder
dash garlic salt
dash onion salt



Brown ground beef. Drain fat. Combine all ingredients and simmer 10 minutes. Garnish with sour cream and crushed tortilla chips. And if you love cheese like my husband, feel free to top it with cheese as well.


Notes: I love this recipe because you can do a lot of changes to make it how you like it. I use whatever beans I have; usually I prefer black beans or pinto beans or add both of them. If you don't have a can of green chilies just add a little more chili powder, if you like it spicy. I would suggest that the can of tomatoes you use is diced or else the chunks of tomato are just too big to handle.
