Directions
In Dutch Oven cook ground meat until pink is removed over low heat. Make a well in middle and saute onions until translucent. Pour off any excess fat.

Add ingredients in order given:

3 cups water
15 oz. can tomato sauce
14 oz can diced tomato with green chilli's
1 pkg. ranch dressing (dried)
1 pkg. taco seasoning (dried)
1 bag of frozen corn

Stir ingredients together and let it heat up to a soft boil; allowed to cook for at least 30 mins on low heat.

If you add 2 cans of beans the soup now becomes more of a stew. As delicious as the soup with more fiber.

Use a handful of corn chips or Doritto's on top of soup and some shredded cheddar cheese on top of Chips.

Note: This is not a low fat meal but is full of fiber and a great comfort food on a very cold day.

Serves: 6 to 8

Enjoy

    I loved this. I substituted the ground beef with shredded chicken and it was great. My husband just had to smell it to love it. - 1/27/08

    I used canned tomatoes instead of sauce, added ranch style beans, hominy & black beans -my favorite. Also can top with cheese and sour cream & green onions. Homestyle biscuits with garlic butter and cheese go well with this also. - 1/26/08

    This is a family favorite, I brown the meat and then put it all in the crockpot on low. It is easier than making chilli. - 1/26/08
