I came across a Taco Soup recipe on FB, after doing a search online, I several variations of the recipe. So I pretty much went through my pantry and used what I had and added just a few lil extras for the topping. My kids LOVED this! Second day I reheated it and it was still kinda thick so we decided to use it as a dip and it was perfect as well! Hope you enjoy!

    Leftover's can be warmed up and used as a dip, awesome exactly the same way but add Frito Scoops! If you still want it as a soup, might have to add alittle water to make it "soupier" (1/2 to 1 cup)
