Taco Soup

1 lb. ground beef, I only use 1/2 pound in the recipe.
1/2 chopped onion
2 16. oz. can stewed tomatoes
1 16 oz. can tomato sauce
1 taco season mix
2 cans corn
2 cans dark red kidney beans

When I make this, I only make half of this recipe for our family. If I make the above, there is just to much, but it would be great for a larger family.

In large pan, cook ground beef and onion until the meat is browned. Drain off fat (I never do this)
Add undrained tomatoes, undrained corn, kidney beans, tomato sauce and taco season mix. Simmer for about 15 minutes. Serve with chips. Break up chips into soup bowl.

Add salt and pepper to taste.
Also, serve with sour cream, grated cheese and guacamole if you like.

Chicken Noodle Soup by Debbie Christiansen

8 quarts chicken broth
2 cups cooked diced chicken
1 cup chopped onion
2 cups sliced carrots
2 sliced celery
Package of thick egg noodles

Combine all ingredients in large pot. Bring to boil and simmer until vegetables are tender.

Serve with bread sticks, I use the recipe posted under breads.


When I made this recipe, I halfed everything. If you use 8 quarts of broth and everything else, the recipe would be huge. I think that half would work unless you have more than 6 people in your family.
