Taco soup


This soup is a family favorite.  I first learned how to make it from my sister using a Crockpot, but it can be made over the stove or in an Instant Pot as well.  I just got an Instant Pot for Christmas, I love it.  Highly recommended!

You will need:
1 lb. ground beef
1 can of corn
1 packet or 3 tablespoons dry ranch seasoning
(I recommend Hidden Valley)
1 packet or 1/4 cup taco seasoning
(I recommend McCormick,
use the Gluten free packet if needed.)
2 cans of red kidney beans
2 cans of tomatoes
(you can substitute for Mexican tomatoes or Rotel for a spicier version)
2 cans worth of water

Optional:
sour cream
cheese
Fritos or any corn chip



Brown your ground beef.
If using an Instant Pot, use your sauté feature and brown right in the pot.





Add your 2 cans on tomatoes.


Using your tomato cans, add 2 cans worth of water.




I always like to drain and rinse my beans for better flavor.



Add 2 cans worth of drained and rinsed beans.


I also like to drain and rinse my corn.


Add 1 cans worth of drained and rinsed corn.


Add 1 packets worth of dry Ranch seasoning mix.


Add one packets worth of taco seasoning.

Stir and cook.

For the Instant Pot use your Chili/Bean option for 20-30 mins.
For the slow cooker (or slow cooker option on the Instant Pot) 1-4 hours.
(Your really just heating it up and letting the flavors marry a bit).
For the stove top, bring to a boil reduce heat to simmer for 20mins.


To serve add a dollop of sour cream and top with cheese. 
Eat with your favorite corn chip, we like Fritos for this particular soup.
