How To Make taco soup with spanish rice

  • Step 1
    In a large skillet, brown ground meat and drain.
  • Step 2
    In a large stockpot or dutch oven, saute green pepper and onion in olive oil until soft. Add ground meat and stir.
  • Step 3
    Add canned beans, canned tomatoes, and canned corn. (The only thing I drain is the corn. Stir in ranch dressing mix, taco seasoning, and other spice until mixed well. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 1 hour. Meanwhile, prepare Spanish rice according to package directions.
  • Step 4
    To serve, spoon a small amount of rice into the bottom of bowl, top with taco soup. I like to add another small spoonful of rice on top. Garnish with shredded cheddar, chopped avocado, and cilantro. This is a great, filling, easy, and comforting meal!
