I’m not surprised that the dish is fabulous even with it’s odd ingredients because it’s Paula Deen’s. Paula has made something special in this Taco Soup. Now to me it really taste nothing like a taco, but it packs a lot of flavor and will keep you coming back for more. GI Joe and I ate all of it and it makes a boat load of servings. I was disappointed there were no leftovers to freeze so I’m just making more to put in the freezer to have on hand when I need something quick. So follow me to the grocery store and let’s make some of the best soup that I have had in a long time. By the way you can put this in the slow cooker. Brown the ground meat the night before or even brown it and freeze it to have ready when needed. In the morning before work place the browned meat and onions in the slow cooker then add all the cans of beans and tomatoes with the packages of seasonings. It will have your house smelling delicious when you walk in the door after work. Just a side note here. I have found that some soups and stews are better the next day, but this one is great after simmering for only one hour. Catch you later I’m making this again.
