My sister, Kathy, is a FABULOUS cook! She started in education as a Home Ed. teacher. When she gave me this recipe, she wrote, "This is a quick soup. My kids at school could make it, eat, and clean the mess up, all in a 50 minute class period. I like quick and easy." We like it, too! Thanks for sharing, Kathy. The only thing better would be for you to drive up from Texas to make this for us! =^..^=

How To Make kathy's taco soup

Step 1

Put all ingredients, EXCEPT water & hamburger, into a large pot over MEDIUM heat. Stir to mix and add enough water to cover. Stir occasionally until the soup starts to boil.

Step 2

Once the soup starts boiling, drop small clumps of hamburger into the soup mixture. Let it cook for a few minutes before stirring, so the hamburger clumps stick together. Gently stir occasionally.
Step 3

Once the hamburger is cooked, decide how thick you like your soup. If needed, add a little more water if you like a thinner soup. Cook for about 15 minutes so that all the flavors blend together and the soup becomes the desired consistency.
Step 4

Serve hot with sour cream, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
