Terrific Taco Soup ( Ww )

MangiaMan's Note:

A very satisfying meal; also a great choice for those on a diet. One cup is equal to two Weight Watchers points. If the diet isn't too much of a concern, try topping this with some shredded cheddar and a dollop of sour cream or even enjoy it with some Tostitos Scoops. Yummy and guilt free!

Directions:

1. Chop onion, combine with ground beef. Brown and drain the ground beef.

Yummy simple soup! I didn't have pinto beans on hand, so used white beans. I used an off-brand of ranch dressing mix (grandson bought the wrong one, lol) and it made it saltier than what I wanted. I think it makes a big difference to use a mix with less salt. Thanks MangiaMan for a nice dinner. Made for Healthy Choices Tag.
