SLOW COOKER TACO SOUP WITH RANCH DRESSING MIX

Slow Cooker Taco Soup with Ranch Dressing Mix image

This is a really good soup that tastes just like tacos. In fact, if you omit the tomato juice it makes a good meat for tacos. It can also be prepared in a pot instead of a slow cooker. Serve with shredded cheese and chips if desired.
