Taco Soup

ahungrywolfe's Note:

i found out too late that i didn't potatoes for soup, but i had already pulled out my broth. i remembered i had taco meat in the freezer, so i looked for taco soup recipes. all the recipes i found called for taco seasoning-which i didn't have. i made this from scratch, without a recipe! it was really yummy, so try it and give me some feedback.. :)
