Photo © Kimberley K. Eggleston
If you are in the mood for something spicy, this easy taco soup with southwestern flare is for you. Accompany the taco soup with a slice of corn bread for dipping. For a perfect finish, top it off with a dollop of fat-free sour cream or non-fat plan yogurt.

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 pound extra-lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1 14.5-ounce can diced tomates
  • 1 15-ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1 15-ounce can corn, drained
  • 1 15-ounce can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp ground chili powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
  • 1/8 tsp ground red pepper

Preparation:

1. Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat and add the ground beef and chopped onion. Separate the ground beef with a fork. Cook the beef and onions, stirring occasionally, until the beef is no longer pink and the onions are soft.

2. Add the next 7 ingredients, through the ground red pepper, and stir until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.

3. Simmer the soup over medium heat for 15 minutes and serve warm.

calories in soup, Member nitajah2

I have not made the soup as yet although it sounds great, and I have made one very much like this one. The calories that were given for the soup did not compute with what I found to be, but they were for sure no where near 400 calories as another reviewer stated. I got about 225.8 cals. per person based on 6 people eating the soup. Not bad at all....enjoy!!!
