My sister, Kathy, is a FABULOUS cook! She started in education as a Home Ed. teacher. When she gave me this recipe, she wrote, "This is a quick soup.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pkg taco seasoning
1 c pace picante sauce
2 can(s) pinto beans with jalapenos, drained (plain pinto beans or kidney beans will also work)
1 or 2 can(s) whole kernel corn, drained
1 or 2 can(s) whole tomatoes with juice, crushed with your fingers
some water
1 lb hamburger
TOPPINGS OPTIONS:
sour cream
shredded cheddar cheese
tortilla chips or strips
fresh lime juice

Steps:

  • 1. Put all ingredients, EXCEPT water & hamburger, into a large pot over MEDIUM heat. Stir to mix and add enough water to cover. Stir occasionally until the soup starts to boil.
  • 2. Once the soup starts boiling, drop small clumps of hamburger into the soup mixture. Let it cook for a few minutes before stirring, so the hamburger clumps stick together. Gently stir occasionally.
  • 3. Once the hamburger is cooked, decide how thick you like your soup. If needed, add a little more water if you like a thinner soup. Cook for about 15 minutes so that all the flavors blend together and the soup becomes the desired consistency.
  • 4. Serve hot with sour cream, cheddar cheese, tortilla chips, and a squeeze of lime, if desired.
