  • On low-med. heat begin adding the rest of the ingredients besides the cheese and corn chips.
  • Simmer 20-30 minutes (lid on) letting the flavors blend.

  4. I made half a recipe so we have enough left for another meal. Great little soup recipe. Loved all the flavors. Served with green onion, sour cream and scoops.
     
  5. This is a delicious soup! I found this recipe and gave it to my husband to make and it was great. I checked it and thought it was a bit too thick for soup so I added a cup of chicken broth.

  1. I used this recipe as more of a guideline. I used the listed ingredients except I used 1 lb of hamberger, 1 can of the tom sauce, added a can of kidney beans, rotel tomatoes & mexicorn. Simmered for an hour and I added 2-3 cups of cooked macaroni at the end. Topped with cheese and sour cream. It made a ranch flavored chili mac that I topped with cheese and sour cream. I am giving this recipe a 5 star rating because I am sure it would have been wonderful if I had followed the recipe. Next time I think I will also try it using chili seasonings instead of taco seasonings. But this is excellent and I think the ranch really adds something special!
     
  2. I thought this had good flavor. I did make a couple of changes though. I used 2 small (8oz) cans of tomato sauce instead of 1 (14 1/2 oz) cans. I also used minced garlic instead of garlic salt. I also used an entire can of Dr. Pepper. It was just spicy enough for my children, but my husband and I garnished ours with chopped jalapenos. Thanks!
     
  3. Great soup! Much better than other taco soupl I've made before. I used 1 lb beef, 1 can tomato sauce, pinto beans in place of ranch beans and used a can of tomatoes w/jalapenos. I also used fresh garlic in place of the garlic salt. I added some extra water and used what was left of a 20 oz dr. pepper. Thanks for posting; will make again.

  5. Very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't have Dr. Pepper so I used Pepsi. I also used black beans instead of ranch beans (actually I'm not sure what ranch beans are). I didn't add the cayenne pepper and used garlic powder instead of garlic salt as I misread the recipe. I must agree that it was even better the next day. I will be making again.

Yay! We're finally back home in Texas! I just graduated from Le Cordon Bleu, in Scottsdale, AZ and couldn't be happier about being home! Right now I work dinner time at Las Canarias, at "La Mansion", on the Riverwalk when I'm not studying culinary anthropology and hanging out with my gorgeous hubby Dereck. I love recipezaar, and it makes my day everytime I get a comment about how someone enjoyed making one of my dishes for their family. I can't think of anything cooler than that!
