The Best Taco Soup Ever image

I first came across this delicious soup by way of my step-mom when I was 9. Since then I have made it more than 100 times, and each time it has improved. Now after 11 years of making this soup, I finally got the recipe just perfect! It' always best to modify this recipe to suit your tastes.
