Easy and Healthy Taco Soup Recipe

With the 'ember' spirit kicking in, Mr. Cush and I decided it was time to make our favorite soup for the first time this fall. Taco Soup is the perfect dish to share with everyone because it fits my main requirement for an Ashley-approved recipe: dumping ingredients into a pan.

(Mr. Cush kindly pointed out that this violates my five-ingredient rule, but when all you're doing is running the electronic can opener over the rims of cans, it's an easy exception.)

Ingredients
1 lb ground turkey breast
1 large onion (chopped, but I use the frozen kind)
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 (15 ounce) can pinto beans
1 (15 ounce) can hot chili beans
1 (15 ounce) can whole kernel corn
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (Mexican flavor)
1 (15 ounce) can stewed tomatoes (any flavor)

Directions
1. Brown the meat and onions and drain.
2. Mix ranch dressing mix and taco seasoning mix into the meat.
3. Without draining, add all other ingredients.
4. Simmer 1 one hour.

To be completely honest with you, I don't even brown the turkey with the seasonings and onions. I just mix those right into the pan and add the cooked turkey. Yep … I'm that dysfunctional (maybe lazy is a better word choice) in the kitchen.

It's not the prettiest of soups, but the taste makes up for the looks!

Pretty easy recipe, huh? Mr. Cush likes to add a side of cornbread whenever we make this, and between the soup and cornbread, we actually have meals for a few days!

PS - don't forget to top your bowl off with a few slices of avocado! It's the only condiment you'll need!
