Easy Taco Soup

There is nothing better than coming home to a warm, hearty meal after a busy day and this Easy Taco Soup is one of our go-to favorites here at Grassy Flat Ranch.  With just seven simple ingredients (most of which you probably already have on hand), it's quick to throw together and full of rich, savory flavor.  Using our Grassy Flat Ranch grass-finished ground beef, this soup packs in lean protein, healthy fats and that pure natural beef flavor that makes all the difference.  Whether you simmer it on the stovetop or let it slow-cook in the crock pot, this recipe is wholesome, easy and sure to become a family favorite.

Ingredients:

1lb Grassy Flat Ranch Ground Beef

1pkg Taco Seasoning

1-16oz Can Kidney Beans (drained and rinsed)

1-28oz Can Stewed Tomatoes

1 - Medium Onion

1-10-12oz Bag Frozen Corn

1-8oz Can Tomato Sauce

Beef Broth (optional)

Toppings:

Tortilla Chips

Graded cheddar Cheese

Sour Cream 

Avocado

Directions:

In a large soup pot brown ground beef with diced onion, once cooked add taco seasoning, and stir to combine.  Add remaining ingredients; kidney beans, stewed tomatoes, frozen corn (you can also use canned corn), and tomato sauce.  Stir to combine, depending on how thick you like your soup you can add beef broth to thin down but that is completely optional.  We tend to like our soups thick so I usually don't. Simmer ingredients until warm and serve with toppings. 

Crock Pot:  Once ground beef and onion are cooked transfer to crock pot then add remaining ingredients to crock pot.  Cook on low for 4-8 hours or until ready to eat.
