This is the easiest Taco Soup ever – and it can be made completely from items you have in your food storage.
You just throw it all in the pot and let it simmer for a few hours – until those dehydrated vegetables are soft!These are the basic ingredients – and of course you can use the real thing, but throwing in the dried and canned stuff is so much easier than actually chopping an onion!!!
My picture of ingredients doesn’t show meat. I usually throw in ground beef (sometimes even stretching my ground beef by adding whole cooked wheat kernels), or wieners, or chicken, or no meat at all.The basic ingredients are onions, carrots, tomatoes, beans, corn and whatever else you need to clean out of your fridge. I’ve even thrown in dried zucchini from time to time just to bug my family (did you know a large zucchini will shrink down small enough to fit in a small ziploc baggie when it’s dehydrated?). Whenever they see an unidentified green thing in anything, someone will always ask, “Is there zucchini in this?”
The only seasoning I add is Taco seasoning – as much or as little as you choose. Add water to get your desired consistency and there you have it. Quick, easy and delicious!
I prefer my tacos on the side rather than getting soggy under the soup! Sour cream, cheese and cilantro or green onions or chives top it off perfectly (I know I don’t have any green stuff on it – just imagine it!).And even if you don’t have the garnishes, the soup is great on it’s own. We call it Chili!
