Easy Taco Soup

Categories: Soups & | Stews

Serves: 6 Servings

Ingredients:

1 lb Ground Beef; Extra Lean, (or
-ground turkey)
1/2 c Chopped onion
1 pk (1 1/4 Oz) taco seasoning
-mix
5 c Tomato juice

Instructions:
----------------------------------TOPPINGS----------------------------------
Low fat sour cream
Shredded lettuce
Chopped green onions
Chopped tomatoes
Low Fat Cheddar Cheese;
-Shredded
Tortilla chips; preferably
-baked

Cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until
beef is no longer pink; about 6-10 minutes. Drain off any fat. (I have my
students dump it into a colander then back into the pan because they can't
drain it effectively otherwise) Stir in seasoning mix and continue cooking
for 1 minute. Stir in tomato juice. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally
until heated through -- about 5 minutes. To serve, ladle soup into bowls.
Each individual can then add additional toppings.

NOTES : * May substitute 1 teaspoon onion paste for the chopped onion, if
desired. This comes in a tube like anchovy paste, is really quick to use
and eliminates the need to have students chopping with sharp knives.
