Taco Soup

Fall is coming and what better dish to make than soup! This is also a great combo of my favorite foods: chili and tacos :)

This gives about 6 ‘Loni’ servings, aka use the big bowls!

Ingredients:

• 2 Tbsp EVOO
• 1 bunch green onions, sliced
• 1 white onion, diced
• 2 Tbsp garlic, minced
• 1 green bell pepper, diced
• 1 c tomato sauce
• 1lb lean ground beef (I used 90/10)
• 1 tsp cumin
• ½ tsp cayenne pepper
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 4 Tbsp taco seasoning
• 1 can hot rotel
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 ½ c frozen corn
• 1 jalapeño, seeded and diced
• 1 can water (just fill up the diced tomato can and use that amount)
• Shredded cheese
• Avocado
• Sour cream
• Tortilla chips

Directions:

• Heat EVOO in a medium Dutch oven, add whites of the green onions and garlic until fragrant then add bell pepper and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add ground beef, seasonings and tomato sauce. Cook for 5 minutes.
• Add both cans of tomatoes, corn, jalapeño and water. Stir to combine.
• Bring soup to a boil then let simmer for 20 minutes. Then you’re ready to eat!

Serve with cheese, sour cream, chunks of avocado, green onions, tortilla chips…. Whatever your taco heart desires :)
