Another favorite from our household. When the weather is chilly this is the perfect comfort food. I make it for lunch on the weekends {and leftovers for during the week} and the entire house smells so good.
As with most soup recipes, this one is very adaptive. If you want a cheesier version, make a cheese sauce {flour & butter roux + milk + shredded cheese} and stir it in. If you want a beefier version, add more beef broth. If you want all beans and no meat, that's good too!
Taco Soup
1 pound lean ground beef, ground turkey, or shredded cooked chicken
To the dutch oven, add the vegetable oil and then the onion and pepper. Cook 4-7 minutes, until onion is translucent, and pepper is lightly browned, stirring often. Add the removed ground beef/turkey {or shredded chicken if using}, corn, chicken broth, beef broth, tomatoes, black beans and taco seasoning. Bring to a boil. Once at a boil, add the pasta and cook according to pasta package instructions.

Taco Soup
1 pound lean ground beef, ground turkey, or shredded cooked chicken

2 cups beef broth
1 - 10 oz can Rotel tomatoes, undrained
15oz can black beans, drained & rinsed

Brown ground beef or turkey in a dutch oven or soup pot over medium heat, seasoning with salt and pepper, breaking it up, until no longer pink. Drain and remove to a bowl. Set aside.
