taco soup

hey there! first of all, i'm honored to be a part of this blog, since i think the rest of you are moms and i'm not (yet), but i'm open to being ostracized if i suggest any recipes that are simply un-mom like...please tell me! so, i thought i'd start with an oldie, but a goodie. it comes from the college days, but never ceases to hit the spot!

taco soup

1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of corn
1 can of black beans or kidney beans
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of rotel (or if you can't find it, use a can of diced tomatoes and dice one jalapeno)
1 package of dry taco seasoning
1 package of dry ranch dressing

put everything in a big soup pot---do not drain! bring to a boil and the simmer (do not cover) for 40 minutes or so. top with sour cream and shredded cheddar and tortilla chips on the side for an added touch! enjoy!

optional: brown 1 lb. ground turkey or a package of smart ground and add to the the soup pot.
