Taco Soup

You can vary and play with the basic recipe by using home canned items easily enough. Here is the original recipe given to me -- enjoy!

Taco Soup
1# ground beef (or venison, or ground turkey, or even a spicy sausage if you like it hot)
garlic and onion

Brown meat with onion and garlic then drain well.

1 14 oz can Mexican tomatoes (the ones mixed with peppers and such)
1 can pinto beans
1 can kidneys beans
1 cup salsa
1 can sweet corn -- do not drain
beef broth or tomato juice (I prefer tomato juice)

Blend together and add any other seasons you like. We simmer this all day :o) LOL...and we nibble on it most of the day, too! I like the tomato juice for the main base instead of the beef broth, but that's just me. We serve this with tortilla strips, some extra cheese and a dollop of sour cream.
