Taco Soup

Today my good friend Linda Nelson reminded me of a wonderful soup recipe that our mutual friend Patti Gentry shared with us many years ago. She inspired me to make it tonight for supper and I decided to share the recipe as it is as good now as it was the first time I had it at Patti's house years ago.

Taco Soup

1 Lb. Ground Beef
1 Large Onion, Chopped
1 Pkg. Taco Seasoning Mix
1 (16 Oz.) Can Stewed Tomatoes, Undrained
1 (16 Oz.) Can Yellow Hominy, Undrained
1 (16 Oz.) Can Ranch Style Beans, Undrained
1 (16 Oz.) Can Pinto Beans. Undrained
1 (16 Oz.) Can Whole Kernel Corn, Undrained
1 (8 Oz.) Can Tomato Sauce
1 Chopped Jalapeno Pepper

Brown meat and onions. Add everything else. Simmer for about 1 hour or longer. Water can be added if soup becomes too thick. Makes eight servings.

This is the recipe as it was given to me. I usually make it in the crockpot and let it cook on low for 6 to 8 hours.
