Taco Soup

(picture courtesy of stellasmom-ronda.blogspot.com)

This one has DEFINITELY become a favorite at our house! 

2 lbs ground beef

1 large onion, chopped

1 can of kidney beans

1 can of whole kernel corn, drained

1 can stewed tomatoes

1 can of Rotel tomatoes

1 pkg of taco seasoning mix

1 pkg of original hidden valley ranch dressing (dry)

2 1/2 c. water or more to make soup broth

Brown ground beef and onions in a large pan, drain fat. Add taco seasoning to beef. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for an hour or so. I usually add the other ingredients to a large pot while the beef is browning. Serve with shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, and tortilla chips on the side.
