Nate's Favorite Taco Soup

I made taco soup again tonight and Nate commented that it is his favorite meal, for a 2 point value.   It reminds him of his mom's chili.

Taco Soup (Weight Watcher Recipe)




1 pound ground turkey OR ground beef
1 onion- diced (I leave the onion out as Nate thinks onions are evil)
2 cans kidney beans (rinsed)
1 can of corn (drained)
1 can of stewed or diced tomatoes- mexi flavor (do not drain liquid)
1 can of stewed or diced tomatoes- any flavor (do not drain liquid)
1 package of reduced sodium taco seasoning
1 package of powdered ranch dressing mix
1 small can of tomato paste

Brown meat (and onion) and drain... Mix ranch and taco seasoning into meat.  While the meat is cooking I open all of the cans and rinse the beans.  Place all of the ingredients (beans, corn, tomatoes, and tomato paste) into a large pot and stir.  Add the browned meat, including the seasonings to the pot.  Cover and let simmer over low to medium for about an hour, stirring occasionally.

(2 pts for 1 cup)  Optional: add baked tortilla chips (2 pts for about 20 chips)

Other yummy condiments: avocado, cheese, sour cream
