Tag: Meatless

This is one of our favorite soups and its super easy to pull together with frozen or canned beans and veggies on hand. (Tip: I buy dried beans, cook the entire bag at one time, and freeze them in pint or quart freezer bags.)

Ingredients:

• 1 lb browned hamburger (If meatless, just add an additional can/bag of beans.)
• 2 cans/or 1 bag(s) whole kernel corn
•  1 (16oz) can/bag kidney beans, rinsed and drained (you can add a can/bag of black beans as well.)
• 1 can diced tomatoes  
• 2 Tablespoons sugar (can use raw sugar, brown sugar, or Sucanat)
•  1  jar of your favorite salsa or an additional can of diced tomatoes. I skip the salsa and use a second can of diced tomatoes with green chilies.) 
•  1 package bought taco seasoning or about 5 tablespoons of homemade taco seasoning.
• Add water if you want a thinner soup
• Adjust seasonings to taste

Method: Mix all ingredients together and cook in crockpot for several hours or put in a large pot and heat through on stove top.

Top with your favorite taco toppings. Excellent with corn bread.
