TACO SOUP BEEF OR CHICKEN



Taco Soup Beef or Chicken image

Another awesome recipe inspired by my MIL. I tweaked her recipe a bit. Omit the meat and use veggie stock for a vegeterian/ vegan meal. Chicken with no toppings or chips 10 servings/ 5 points beef with no toppings or chips 10 servings/ 8 points

Provided by Melanie B @MelBelle

Categories     Chicken Soups

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound(s) ground beef (or chicken- see note below)
1/2 - onion chopped fine
1 can(s) corn
1 can(s) chili beans
1 can(s) chopped green chilis (i use the big can)
1 can(s) pinto beans
1 can(s) chopped tomatoes (or rotel)
1 can(s) black beans
1 package(s) taco seasoning
1/2 to 1 teaspoon(s) each cumin, chili powder, paprika and corriander- add the amount you desire.
6 cup(s) water or chicken stock (see note at the bottom)
TOPPINGS
- cilantro, fresh
- jalapenos, fresh
- cheddar cheese, shredded
- sour cream
- tortilla chips

Steps:

  • In a stock pot or large pan, brown ground beef and onion. Drain the fat.
  • Add corn, chili beans, green chilies, & chopped tomatoes (I don't drain any of these). Add the rinsed black beans & pinto beans, taco seasoning & water.
  • Add all the dry seasonings.
  • Let simmer for at least an hour. (This is better the longer it simmers or if made the night before.)
  • Serve over tortilla chips with cilantro, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and sour cream to garnish.
  • You can also make this with chicken. Boil 2 thighs & 2 drumsticks or two large breasts.
  • Let cool & remove the meat. Strain the fat out of the cooking water (which is now chicken stock) and add more water to make the 6 cups if needed.
  • If you like spicy, add more cumin or chili powder while the soup simmers. Freezes well

Tips:

  • Use a variety of beans and vegetables. This will give your soup more flavor and texture. Some good options include black beans, pinto beans, corn, and tomatoes.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices. Chili powder, cumin, and oregano are all classic taco soup spices, but you can also add others like paprika, garlic powder, or cayenne pepper to taste.
  • Use a good quality beef or chicken broth. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your soup. If you don't have any on hand, you can use water, but your soup will be less flavorful.
  • Simmer your soup for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together and develop. If you're short on time, you can simmer it for less time, but the soup won't be as flavorful.
  • Serve your soup with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, shredded cheese, avocado, and tortilla chips.

Conclusion:

Taco soup is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover taco meat. Simply follow the tips above and you'll be sure to make a taco soup that your whole family will love.
