For this week’s Good Eatin’ Recipe Hop, I decided to share a family favorite. This recipe for Taco Soup can be quickly prepped and uses canned goods that are usually stocked in our pantry. We are a family of five, so we I make Taco Soup I try to make enough for leftovers. That isn’t all ways the case though. If you need a smaller quantity then it should be a snap to cut the recipe in half. Looking for a Meatless Monday Meal? Leave out the ground meat and it is still a hearty meal.
This is a hearty soup that utilizes canned ingredients from the pantry. Serve with some Southern style jalapeno cornbread for an added kick.
