TACO SOUP

Taco Soup

This is an old

Weight Watcher's Recipe -

I've made it for many occasions

and no one was the wiser -

it's a great hardy soup

and it's gluten free.

  

1 lg onion, chopped
1 pkg, taco seasoning mix
2 cups whole kernel corn, frozen
1 can chicken broth
1 can black beans, undrained
1 can kidney beans, undrained
1 can fat-free refried beans
1 can diced tomatoes, (Mexican flavor)
1 can diced tomatoes, (any flavor)
Soften onions. 

Add all other ingredients. 

Simmer, covered, 1 hour.

Most of the time though,

I don't cook it on the stove - 

I just throw everything 

in my crockpot and let it simmer.

If I'm in a hurry,

it can usually simmer on high

for about two hours 

or

if I have all day,

I set it on low.

Sometimes I add cooked ground beef.

Most of the time,

I don't want to used 

packaged taco seasoning mix

because it might have MSG in it.

So I make my own taco seasoning.

1 tablespoon chili powder

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes 

1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon black pepper

Mix together and use as seasoning.

Enjoy!!
