Taco Soup

By
*Fair warning to everyone:
I seem to have a real issue with following recipes exactly. I don't think I ever follow a recipe the same way twice, and I'm really bad at measuring out ingredients, I tend to just 'eye' them alot, so if my recipes get really annoying when I just say, "as much as you want", sorry...

1/2 lb. ground beef
1 small red onion (I just always use regular onions, or onion flakes if I'm out of those)
2 cans stewed tomatoes (I just use regular petite diced canned tomatoes, but the recipe recommends Mexican style)
1 can kidney beans, undrained
(I also add 1 can black beans, undrained)
1 can corn, undrained
1 package taco seasoning
1 can tomato soup (if you happen to be out of tomato soup like I was when Will & Peggy & Amy were here, about 1 soup can of salsa makes a nice substitution)
I also like to add dried cilantro - um...as much as you want.

Place all ingredients in large pot, and simmer for 15 min. Serve with sour cream, grated cheese, and Frito chips, if desired. (This makes a REALLY big pot of soup, so all of our little families of 4 will definitely have enough for two meals).

i just made taco soup today--i didn't know your recipe was on here or I would have tried it. it sounds about the same except the recipe i used calls for half a package of ranch dressing seasoning. i wish i'd thought of using salsa to thicken it up a bit--that would have been better i think. the recipe didn't call for any tomato soup, so it was just kind of watery, which is okay, but i like thicker soups. anyway, i'll have to try this next time.
