My grandson Jason gives me ingredient money to make him 3-4 crock pots of soup each month. He works for the state and it's perfect to just grab from the freezer and heat for lunch.
This is an inexpensive "dump recipe" - throw it in the pot, stir, then it's done! I had it in my head until I was pressed for time one night. My husband offered to make it, but I couldn't tell him what the amounts were.
Years ago I used to make a taco soup that contained hamburger, taco seasoning, tomatoes, and Velveeta. I can't remember the rest of the ingredients, or the directions. I do know it contained "no" Ranch dressing. I can't stand Ranch dressing! All of the recipes I have found on-line contain Ranch dressing. If anyone has the recipe or something similar I would appreciate it. Thanks.

Paula Deen has an excellent Taco Soup recipe you can try and just ditch the ranch dressing mix if you must. Personally, I think you should try using the dressing mix because the soup is not going to taste like ranch dressing at all because of the other ingredients in the recipe and the ranch dressing packet is used for the herbs and spices it contains as a flavor enhancement for the soup (like parsley, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, dill weed, etc).

Here is one that I got off the internet but don't know where.
1 large can refried beans
1 can black beans, drained
1 can rotell tomatoes
1 small can green chilies
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 Tablespoon lime juice
4 cups chicken broth
1 small can of corn
spices to taste
Garnish with sour cream, grated cheddar chees, chips and black olives. You can add either cooked beef or chicken.
I have a great soup that is similar but made with chicken:
2 chicken skinless (deboned) breast (you can use leftover chicken 2 cups shredded)
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
This recipe sounds close to what you are looking for. If you don't want the canned corn in it, you can substitute a can of beans.

This is a modification of a standard recipe that reduces the salt and eliminates packaged seasonings so you can vary the amount of seasonings to suit your taste for a fresher, healthier dish.
I need recipe for Weight Watchers taco soup.
Trisha from Alabama
I think it's:
1 lb lean ground beef (or any other lean meat)
3 cans beans (any variety)
3 cans petite cut tomatoes (garlic and jalapenio is good but too spicey for some folks)
1 can corn
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 pkg hiddenvalley ranch seasoning
brown meat, drain off any fat.
Do not drain beans or corn. Their liquid forms the soup stock.
