Simple Taco Soup
"This recipe came out of the Southern Living magazine January 2009 issue. I have posted it just as it was written; however, when I make it I use regular diced tomatoes and add one small can of green chilis (taco aisle) and saute one jalapeno pepper along with the onion, garlic and ground beef. I also stir one cube of cilantro (Knorr makes this) into the soup as it cooks instead of using fresh cilantro on top. This freezes pretty well as long as you don't add sour cream and cheese to the whole pot."

I love taco soup and this one was really good. I used petite diced tomatoes instead of the cans of the other tomatoes and canned corn instead of frozen but followed the rest of the recipe as written. Topped ours with cheddar cheese. Froze some for feature lunches. Made for Spring PAC 2010.

I took up cooking when I gave up smoking, and my family is grateful. They were tired of eating the same 11 things that I knew how to make!
In addition to turning on the recipe feed for Recipezaar, I highly recommend www.supercook.com. This wonderful website will ask you what's in your pantry, then tell you what you can make without having to go to the store.
