primos sabrosos

Check out my amazing Spanish! Ha ha! So here's two recipes. The first is the classic taco soup. This is the easiest, most basic recipe. I love it because you just dump stuff in the pot and then it's so yummy in the end. The second recipe is a tasty cousin (primo sabroso)--Enchilada Soup. This soup was very easy and, again, so yummy.

Taco Soup *****

1 lb. Ground beef

1 16-oz. can tomatoes, w/liquid

1 16-oz. can kidney beans

1 pkg taco seasoning mix        

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 16-oz. can corn, w/liquid

1 8-oz. can tomato sauce

In large soup pot, brown ground beef and onion.  Drain well.  Add remaining ingredients, using taco seasoning to taste.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat.  Cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Serve soup with shredded cheese, sour cream, and corn/tortilla chips.
