SPICY HEALTHY TACO BEAN SOUP
This is a great, healthy recipe that I originally got from a weight watchers meeting, but that I didn't actually try myself until a coworker made it for a faculty lunch. It's amazing how the refried beans thicken the soup and give it more body than the broth alone. It's super tasty, but quite spicy. I cut the spice by topping individual servings with fat free sour cream and shredded cheese. You could also replace the spicy diced tomatoes with an additional can of regular tomatoes if you don't like so much heat. Another way to reduce the heat would be to add an additional can of chicken broth and more beans, either more black beans or a can of kidney beans. Don't like it meatless? Stir in some browned ground beef or turkey, or add some cubed or shredded cooked chicken. Note: After reorganizing my pantry, I realized I have two similar types of tomatoes, and that I have used Mexican style diced tomatoes the last couple of times I made this, which likely made this more spicy than the rotel style tomatoes would have.

Steps:
- Slice or dice the onion and sauté in a stock pot until soft (in cooking spray, a tablespoon of olive oil, or a little of the chicken broth).
- Add remaining ingredients and simmer 15-20 minutes.
- Serve with fat free sour cream and low-fat shredded cheese, if desired. If you like cilantro, chop a little and throw some on top of the soup. Also tasty (though not as healthy) topped with a handful of Fritos.
- Great with a piece of hearty corn bread and fresh fruit.
- This recipe can also be made in a crock pot. Sauté onions first, combine everything in a crockpot, and cook on low 5-6 hours.
- Enjoy!
BLACK BEAN TACO SOUP
This is a hearty soup/stew that is great to make on a chilly day. We usually have it for lunch, but with the addition of a simple salad (such as one consisting of letture, red onion, yellow bell pepper and topped with a basic vinaigrette), cornbread and a caramel flan for dessert, it would make a delicious dinner meal as well.

TACO BEAN SOUP
I literally looked in my pantry for inspiration. This is what I cam up with. My son loves it. We serve it with shredded cheddar cheese, tortilla chips and sour cream. One suggestion if you think it tastes salty to you add some tomato sauce a little at a time and taste. I find this balances out the flavor.

Tips:
- Use a variety of beans. This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and white beans.
- Don't be afraid to add spices. Taco seasoning is a great place to start, but you can also add other spices like chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder.
- Use fresh ingredients whenever possible. This will give your soup the best flavor. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good option.
- Don't overcook the soup. The beans should be tender, but they shouldn't be mushy. Overcooked beans can also make the soup thick and gloppy.
