Terrific Tasty Taco Soup

Ken's Cast Iron Kitchen: Terrific Tasty Taco Soup

Contributed by Ken Hagler

Two things to know about me to really know me.  One, I love Mexican food and two, I am no fan of soup. So, for me to post a soup recipe, it had better be good….and this one rocks in my opinion. Keep a bag of tortilla chips tortilla strips handy to top your bowl off.

This 5-ingredient taco soup is a great meal for cool nights by the fireplace and perfect to take to work the next day.  That is, if you don't eat it all for your meal! 

You'll need:

●     1 pound ground beef

●     1 (16 oz) jar chunky salsa

●     6 cups beef broth

●     1 package taco seasoning

●     1 (10 oz) bag frozen corn or can of corn

1.Start by heating up an enameled Dutch oven over medium high heat; add ground beef and cook.

2.Add in half of taco seasoning and mix. Cook & stir until ground beef is brown and crumbling. Add your jar of salsa. Then pour in beef broth slow. Mix everything well. Cover and simmer for 5-7 minutes and stir as needed.

3.Add the corn and remaining taco seasoning. Return to a simmer and reduce heat. Cover it and cook for 15 minutes more and stir at least once.

4. Give it one more stir and spoon it out into bowls to serve. Add tortilla chips or strips and serve hot! Oh YES!!!
