Contest-Winning Taco Soup image

I have to admit that when a good friend gave me this recipe, I wasn't certain I'd like it. But, after one taste, I changed my mind! My husband loves it-especially when the weather's cold. I've also fixed Taco Soup for my parents and in-laws, and taken it to church suppers. We live in a small oil-field town, and have two children, 7 and 5. I grew up on a ranch in the panhandle of our state, though, and even today I find I sure miss the country at times!

This soup is a bit spicy for my taste, but I still really enjoyed it. I just added a little less chili powder and it was perfect. I also added some chopped avocado and sour cream on top, which made it even better.
