I'm looking for a really good Taco soup recipe with beans. I'm thinking of making this and taking it to my quilt guild meeting next month. One that is not too salty and light to medium spice (hotness). Anyone want to give their recipes? Thank-you in advance.

I have a recipe for Taco Soup that is good and super simple. Brown 1 lb of ground beef, drain. Add one can of kidney beans, one can of corn, one can of beef broth, one chopped onion, and one package of taco seasoning. Add water fill pot and cook for at least a half hour. Serve with tortilla chips. You could also add shredded cheese on top if desired.

Refried Bean Soup A family favorite and ready in just minutes! Low fat, vegetarian and high in fiber!

1 can refried beans
chicken broth
corn (frozen or canned)
beans (drained and rinsed) I usually use 2 cans kidney and pinto
diced tomatoes, rotel or salsa

Heat refried beans in pan. Add some broth to thin it. Add corn, drained beans, tomatoes/salsa. Add more broth for good soup consistency. On the side I have grated cheese, crunched tortilla chips, onion, avocado, jalapeños, sour cream, etc.

This is a good taco soup
1 1/2 lbs ground beef or turkey, browned and drained
1 48 oz can tomato juice
1 can drained whole kernel corn
1 15 oz can ranch style beans ( I use reg. chili beans
1 small can green chilies
1 pkg dry taco seasoning
1 pkg dry ranch salad dressing
shredded cheese
Fritos or Dorito chips
Put all ingred. except cheese and chips in crock pot and cook all day on low.
To serve crumble chips in bottom of each bowl add soup and sprinkle cheese on top.
Tasty but not too spicy and freezes well.

I use like quiltaddict, we have this at least once a month, SO I decided that I needed to keep the cost down (retired now). so I investigated Taco Seasoning.
1/4C. instant minced onion, 2 Tbsp chili powder, 2 tsp paprika, 2 tsp crushed dried red pepper flake, 1 1/2 tsp oregano, 1/2 tsp marjoram, 1 Tbsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 2 Tbsp corn starch, 1 Tbsp dried garlic, 1 tsp cumin. 2 Tbsp = 1 package.

1 can kidney beans, rinsed
1 can northern beans, rinsed
1 can whole corn, rinsed (sometime I leave this out)
2 cans diced tomatoes (can make one can Rotel for some spice), with juice
1 package taco seasoning mix (mild or hot and spicy, your choice)
1 package dry ranch mix (I have made it without this or only use 1/2 a package)
1 onion, cut up
Water (I add a lot of water because I like more of a broth)

I don't add any meat. Just sauté the onion a little with the taco seasoning. Add the rest of the ingredients. Bring to boil, turn down to a simmer for an hour or so.

I love this soup and have sometimes made it using dry beans, have to cook a little longer but I love the taco taste. I think the calories aren't too bad either because I use a lot of water.

The taco seasoning that I buy is very inexpensive. I think under a dollar.

Looking back at my recipe above I realized I forgot the can of diced tomatoes. That's what happens when you write it down from memory and your memory is getting very old. Sorry.
