Taco Soup

Ah October; it's a month filled with cuddles, pumpkins, spooky stuff and hot chocolate! Oh and soup, which makes my tummy feel cuddly.

Tonight for dinner I decided to make a recipe that mixes two of my most well-liked things: tacos and soup. The best part about this recipe? You just throw everything into a large stock pot and call it a day.

Taco Soup


2 Tbsp olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 lb ground turkey
2 cans black beans, drained
1 can kidney beans, drained
1 can yellow corn kernels, drained
1 can diced tomatoes and chiles
1 20 oz can crushed tomatoes
2 tomatoes, diced
1 package taco seasoning
1 package ranch dressing seasoning
16 oz chicken broth
Salt and pepper, to taste
Tortilla chips, for serving
Shredded cheddar cheese, for serving

In a large stock pot over medium heat, saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook until you can smell it.

Add in turkey and cook until no longer pink.

Pour in all the cans, tomatoes, seasoning and broth and stir. Bring to a boil.

Drop the heat down to medium-low and cover. Simmer for 10 minutes.

Serve with tortilla chips and cheese.

I ate one bowl of this soup (granted it was a big bowl) and I'm absolutely stuffed! This soup has all the great flavors of tacos combined with the warming inside-tummy comfort of soup! This soup paired perfectly with my Sierra Nevada Vienna and some Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Not a bad way to start off a week, huh readers? Enjoy and I hope this, the last week of September 2016 treats you well.
