Taco Soup

SAVE ✓ SAVED ADD TO MEAL PLAN PRINT

"I was introduced to this recipe many years ago by my Aunt Kay. It is an easy, quick soup that is always popular with a crowd. Who doesn't love tacos or a delicious soup? This recipe combines the two! You can vary the type of ground meat, using lean beef or turkey. We prefer ground chicken because my daughter is allergic to beef. Served with optional toppings, tortilla chips, and a side salad, it is sure to become a family favorite." -Wendy, a cooking instructor at the Dr. Yum Project Kitchen
