Taco Soup
Taco Soup Submitted by: Robin
Ginney gave me this terrific recipe and I made a few adjustments
1 lbs ground beef
1/2 chopped onion
2 14 1/2 oz. cans kidney beans
2 14 1/2 oz. cans diced tomatoes
1 can corn
1 small can diced green chili's
1 small can sliced black olives
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 package taco seasoning mix
2 cups cooked salad macaroni
Brown ground beef and onion in a medium soup pot. Add dry ranch dressing and taco seasoning and mix. Add diced tomatoes, corn, green chili's, black olives, kidney beans (with juice from beans) and salad macaroni. Add enough water to make soupy (I added about 43.5 ozs. (I filled the kidney beans can three times with water). Simmer for about 45 minutes. You can add extra taco seasoning if needed to make the soup zesty
The original weight watchers recipe calls for 3 cans of kidney beans and 1 can of diced tomatoes, but I didn't want that many beans. It also didn't included olives and macaroni, but I think they're a nice addition. Next time I'm going to try it with ground turkey instead of ground beef.
This is a yummy, low fat recipe and it's very filling.
