Tara's Taco Soup

Because everyone should have this as a staple during winter.
Every. Single. Family.

Ha.

I just made this for a friend in my bible study who is pregnant but was put on bed rest. She only has about 70 more days to go.  But, she had never had it before, or even heard of it.  And loved it.

So, I thought it deserves its own post.

Sweet Tara made this for me when I was on (a very short) bed rest early on in my pregnancy with the twins.

Tara's Taco Soup

1-2 lbs ground beef or turkey

2 cans of hominy (or corn)

2 cans red kidney beans (I use plain red beans over kidney beans)

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can rotel

1 pkg ranch dressing seasoning (dry)

1 pkg taco seasoning

 

Cook the beef or turkey until done. Drain. Place in crock pot.  Add all other ingredients (liquids from cans and all). Stir and set on low for 5 hrs or high for 4....or until hot all the way through.

 

If you cook it on the stove follow same directions, cook it in a stock pot and bring it to a boil, and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes or until hot.

 

top with cheese, sour cream, avocados, chips.... yum! 

 

If you re-warm it add a little bit of water to it if it needs it.
