Pantry Taco Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

Soup Base
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups water
1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can tomato soup
1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
1 (1 1/4 ounce) package taco seasoning mix (I use Taco Bell brand)
Stuff
1 lb ground beef (or chicken, pork, steak, stew meat, ect.)
1 medium onion, chopped
1 (16 ounce) can red kidney beans, drained
1 (15 1/4 ounce) can niblet corn, drained (I double this, usually. Love corn)
1 (10 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies, half-drained
1/2 of a 1 can chicken broth (14 1/2 ounce)

Preparation

In large pot, combine hamburger and onion. If you're using chicken, i suggest adding a tablespoon or so of butter.
Cook over medium heat, until meat is browned.
Drain fat, if any.
Over medium-high heat, stir in \"soup base\",\"stuff\", and whatever else you'd like to add. For cold days, i like to add chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, and red pepper flakes to taste.
Bring to a boil.
Reduce the heat, and simmer for atleast 1 hour.
Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream. Its GREAT with cornbread.
