Crock Pot Taco Soup

This Taco Soup is a wonderful soup.. chock full of flavor.. loaded with

healthy fiber…and so easy to make… about

10 minutes of prep.. and let the crock pot cook dinner for you!

You can also make this on top of the stove, just follow the instructions except instead of slow cooking in a crock pot, simmer on top of the stove at least an hour.

TIPS

I love black beans.. and I think they add a nice variation

in flavor and color to this soup.. but you can use red kidney beans if you

prefer.

I wrote this recipe listing Taco Seasoning… I highly recommend you

use my homemade Taco Seasoning… it has great flavor and you control the

ingredients.. no artificial fillers.

Use 3 heaping teaspoons of the seasoning mix. You will have leftover.. save it and use it

to make Tacos.

If you want to use a prepared Taco mix… use the whole packet.

I know the powdered Ranch dressing is an odd addition.. but it

really is a great addition.. the spices add to the overall flavors of this.

I used Rotel tomatoes… they come mild or hot.. use whichever

you prefer… I use the mild version.

This will make about 6 servings.
