Taco Soup
Another good recipe from Family Feasts for $75 a Week: A Penny-wise Mom Shares Her Recipe for Cutting Hundreds from Your Monthly Food Bill
- 1 tsp oil
- 1 onion, peeled and chopped
- 1 pound of ground beef or turkey
- 1 packet of Onion Soup mix (or make your own)
- 1 packet of taco seasoning (or make your own taco seasoning)
- 2 15 ounce cans of kidney beans, drained and rinsed (unless you use the chili-style beans)
- 1 15 oz can of corn (don’t bother draining)
- 28 ounces or so of some sort of diced or pureed tomatoes
- 4 cups beef broth
- taco chips, sour cream and grated cheese for garnish
Heat the oil in a soup pot and start the diced onion cooking for a few minutes. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, using a wooden spoon to break it into small pieces as it cooks. Drain any excess fat, then stir in the onion soup mix and the taco seasoning. Add beans, corn, tomatoes and broth. Simmer, partially covered, for 45 minutes or so. Serve with sour cream, grated cheese and chips at the table.
