Taco Soup Beef or Chicken image

Another awesome recipe inspired by my MIL. I tweaked her recipe a bit. Omit the meat and use veggie stock for a vegeterian/ vegan meal. Chicken with no toppings or chips 10 servings/ 5 points beef with no toppings or chips 10 servings/ 8 points

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 lb ground beef (or chicken- see note below)
1/2 onion chopped fine
1 can(s) corn
1 can(s) chili beans
1 can(s) chopped green chilis (i use the big can)
1 can(s) pinto beans
1 can(s) chopped tomatoes (or rotel)
1 can(s) black beans
1 pkg taco seasoning
1/2 to 1 tsp each cumin, chili powder, paprika and corriander- add the amount you desire.
6 c water or chicken stock (see note at the bottom)
TOPPINGS
cilantro, fresh
jalapenos, fresh
cheddar cheese, shredded
sour cream
tortilla chips

Steps:

  • 1. In a stock pot or large pan, brown ground beef and onion. Drain the fat.
  • 2. Add corn, chili beans, green chilies, & chopped tomatoes (I don't drain any of these). Add the rinsed black beans & pinto beans, taco seasoning & water.
  • 3. Add all the dry seasonings.
  • 4. Let simmer for at least an hour. (This is better the longer it simmers or if made the night before.)
  • 5. Serve over tortilla chips with cilantro, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and sour cream to garnish.
  • 6. You can also make this with chicken. Boil 2 thighs & 2 drumsticks or two large breasts.
  • 7. Let cool & remove the meat. Strain the fat out of the cooking water (which is now chicken stock) and add more water to make the 6 cups if needed.
  • 8. If you like spicy, add more cumin or chili powder while the soup simmers. Freezes well
