Kickin’ Taco Soup

Tasty, thick and hearty soup.  Each ingredient is same amount, so it’s ridiculously simple to double, triple, etc.  Make a ton of the stuff, then freeze a bunch in individual containers to take to work for lunch.
 
INGREDIENTS
  • 1 LB ground turkey or hamburger
  • 1 small onion (diced)
  • 1-15 oz can black beans (undrained)
  • 1-15 oz can pinto beans (drained)
  • 1-10 oz can Ro*Tel (mild or original, depending on your spicy sensitivity)
  • 1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 1-14.5 oz can whole kernel corn
  • 1 pack Hidden Valley Ranch Seasoning Mix
  • 1 pack Ortega Taco Seasoning Mix
  • 1-12 oz bottle/can of beer (your choice… we’re a Bud Lite household)
DIRECTIONS
  1. Grab a big pot.  Brown the turkey/hamburger with the diced onion.  I’d feel obligated to drain if I used ground beef, so I don’t.  Drain is wasting flavor.  
  2. Dump everything else into the pot and mix it up.
  3. Bring to a boil, then simmer on medium low for 20 minutes.
  4. Scoop into bowls and serve with anything that makes sense (corn chips, shredded cheddar cheese, diced green onions, sour cream, etc.)
