Taco Soup

Taco Soup!

1lb ground turkey
1 can Rotel tomatoes with chiles
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can pinto beans
1 can chili beans
1 can corn (I usually go with the smaller can rather than the full-sized)

1 packet Hidden Valley Ranch DIP (not dressing) mix
1 packet taco seasoning

shredded cheese (I like Mexican mix, but cheddar or Jack or combo thereof is good - this is optional)
tortilla chips (optional)
sour cream (Reduced Fat or Fat-Free is fine - this is also optional)

I do this all in the same big pot - less dishes!

Brown meat - probably won't need to drain, as turkey is generally leaner than beef and won't have many drippings.
Add Ranch dip mix to meat.
Add taco seasoning to meat and add water & simmer per package instructions.

Dump contents of ALL CANS (do not drain cans!!!) into pot with meat. Bring to a boil for one minute, then decrease heat and allow to simmer for one hour, stirring occasionally.

Serve topped with shredded cheese and sour cream. Crumble tortilla chips on top (as if you would crackers for any other soup) or use chips to scoop the soup like a dip.
