Notes
Commentary:
I had a request in the past week or so for a taco soup recipe, so I looked over some taco soup variations and came up with this easy classic version. Plus it's plenty nutritious and totally satisfying. For me, this recipe is one that I always have the ingredients for in my pantry and freezer. Ground beef, Rotel tomatoes with chiles, frozen or canned green chiles, canned black beans, canned corn. I have large containers of taco seasoning and Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing seasoning & salad dressing mix (available at Costco and other places). So I can make it in a moment's notice.
This is also always good whether you make it mild, medium or hot. You just control this with the green chiles and the type of Rotel tomatoes you use. The basic soup tastes really good, but for it to be "taco soup" you gotta have plenty of cheese and tortilla chips. Try it, you'll like it!
