How To Make taco soup beef or chicken

• Step 1
  In a stock pot or large pan, brown ground beef and onion. Drain the fat.
• 
  Step 2
  Add corn, chili beans, green chilies, & chopped tomatoes (I don’t drain any of these). Add the rinsed black beans & pinto beans, taco seasoning & water.
• 
  Step 3
  Add all the dry seasonings.
• 
  Step 4
  Let simmer for at least an hour. (This is better the longer it simmers or if made the night before.)
• 
  Step 5
  Serve over tortilla chips with cilantro, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and sour cream to garnish.
• 
  Step 6
  You can also make this with chicken. Boil 2 thighs & 2 drumsticks or two large breasts.
• 
  Step 7
  Let cool & remove the meat. Strain the fat out of the cooking water (which is now chicken stock) and add more water to make the 6 cups if needed.
• Step 8
  If you like spicy, add more cumin or chili powder while the soup simmers. Freezes well
