Taco Soup--Ummy!

This was a recipe I tried last week... it's DELICIOUS! I'm sure it would be a lot more appropriate to eat on a cold, winter day rather than a hot, muggy, Texas day, but it's so good that I don't even care. The original recipe comes from a lady named Jane Clayson, but I modified it to fit my tastes. It's SO easy and SO delicious...

Taco Soup

Ingredients:

-1 lb hamburger*

-1 medium onion, chopped

-2 stalks celery

-4 cups stewed tomatoes**

-1 (15 oz) can kidney beans, undrained

-1 (15 oz) can corn, drained

-1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

-1 pkg. taco seasoning

-Cheddar cheese, grated

-Tortilla or corn chips, crushed

-Sour cream

(*any ground meat will work. My hubby is a hunter, so we have a ready supply of ground venison which is what I used.)

(**if  you do any canning, I just used a large Mason jar (quart size) of canned tomatoes that I had done last year. Worked perfect.)

Directions:

-Brown the hamburger (or whatever ground meat you are using) and onions in a large pot. 

-Add the celery, tomatoes, kidney beans, corn, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. 

-Simmer 30 to 40 minutes. 

-Serve immediately with the chips and cheese sprinkled on top and a dollop of sour cream. 

Enjoy!!
