I made this so many times last winter. I usually double the recipe and freeze to take to lunch at work. I don’t add the corn but that’s just my preference. Sorry I don’t remember which magazine this came from but there are many variations out there.

Rec:Stupidly Simple Taco Soup

Makes 10 servings (about 14 cups), Prep: 10 min Cook: 30 min

1 lb ground beef

2 (16oz) cans pinto beans, rinsed and drained

1 (32oz) container chicken broth

1 (15oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 (11oz) can shoepeg corn, drained

1 (10oz) can diced tomatoes and green chiles

1 (1.25oz) package taco seasoning mix

Toppings: sour cream, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, fresh lime juice, tortillas chips

Cook ground beef in large Dutch oven over medium heat, stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain and return to Dutch oven.

Stir in pinto beans and next 6 ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes. Serve with desired toppings.

 
This is a good comfort food recipe. I made it a few times last year and everyone loved it.

And it is so easy. I subbed in cooked chicken with it too. I used a fajita pack for the taco seasoning packet. I have company coming today and have some chicken stock on the stove. I think I will make this tomorrow for an easy dinner after sightseeing. Thanks!

 
Also good with chicken or turkey but PLEASE drain the black beans

I hate draining things - I feel like I'm loosing some of the nutrients and flavor. Well, the other beans and stuff don't matter but I made the mistake one time of not draining the black beans on this soup and it made the most horrible looking soup - tasted fine but even I had a hard time looking at it.
