Taco soup is an American adaptation of the popular Mexican snack. It includes all the ingredients of a traditional taco: meat, beans, corn, vegetables, seasonings, and even tortillas. To make this soup, you'll need all the beans and vegetables (canned), so you don't have to spend half a day preparing it. Ground beef is browned with onions, then combined in a pot with all the other ingredients. The soup simmers for an hour to heat through and allow the flavors to meld. Or you can throw everything in a slow cooker and go about your day. Serve the soup with classic taco toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, and pickled jalapeño rings.
