Taco Soup

                                                                     Taco Soup

Tonight's dinner is taco soup! This is one that I just made up on my own. It is a quick easy meal that can be thrown together with whatever you have on hand, perfect end of the week dinner. The husband had seconds and the kids and I loved it too!

Taco Soup                    (serves 6)
1 pound lean ground beef
1 packet taco seasoning
1 1/2 cups salsa
1 can black beans
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup uncooked pasta
1/2 onion, chopped
1 can chicken broth
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons lime juice
shredded chedder cheese
sour cream

In a pot or large skillet with sides, brown ground beef along with onions. Then add taco seasoning packet acording to directions on packet. Keeping the pan on medium high add the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. reduce heat to medium low and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes or untill pasta is tender, stirring occasionally. Top each portion with chedder cheese and sour cram if desired.

You can use any kind of pasta you want, I had elbow macaroni in the cabinet so that is what I used today. You could do so many substitutions with this reipe, it's all about whatever you have on hand. I used lowfat chicken broth, low fat cheese, and low fat sour cream to cut down on the calories. Hope you try this and enjoy it as much as I do! Dinner's ready!
