This is a awesome easy soup to make.. I make it a lot on lunch and come home to a great soup.. I have used a bunch of different packs of taco seasoning and the all turn out good. just some corn bread or tortilla chips, pinch or two of cheese its a great diner and plenty for lunch..

I made this soup for PAC Fall 2008 and it sure came in handy when it rained last week. It was DELISH!! We crushed some corn tortillas in it for a great crunch and garnished with sour cream and grated cheese. I opted to use the pacakged taco seasoning. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing!!
