Ingredients
  • 1 pound Ground beef or equivalent freeze-dried ground beef (rehydrated)
  • 1 Large onion (finely chopped)
  • 2-14.5- ounce Cans of diced tomatoes
  • 1-16- ounce Can kidney beans (undrained)
  • 1-16- ounce Can of corn (undrained)
  • 1 Package taco seasoning packetĀ (or just throw in some chili powder and cumin as I do)
  • 1-6 ounce Can tomato paste (optional), it thickens the soup
Instructions
  1. Brown the meat: In a large pot, cook the ground beef and diced onion until thoroughly browned. You will want to drain any excess grease. Just to let you know, I used freeze-dried hamburger/ground beef (rehydrated).

  2. Add seasonings: Stir in the taco seasoning until the meat is well coated.

  3. Pour everything in: Add the tomatoes, corn, kidney beans, and diced tomatoes.

  4. Simmer: Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

  5. Taste and adjust: Add salt and pepper as needed, then ladle into bowls and pile on the toppings.
