"Soup"-er Saturday

 

In my opinion any day of the week is a good day for soup. There are so many we like it is hard to say what our favorite might be, this bean and beef soup is pretty high on my list though. It's   "soup"-er tasty, "soup"-er easy to make and very budget friendly. All it takes is one frying pan to brown the ground beef, or turkey if you want to substitute for a lighter calorie soup. Everything else gets thrown in the crockpot for a couple of hours and then yummy happens,

Here are the ingredients you'll need~

1 pound of ground beef

2 cups water

1 can kidney beans

1 can pinto beans

1 package taco seasoning

1 package ranch dressing mix

1 can diced tomatoes

1 can of diced tomatoes with jalapeño 

First brown the ground beef and drain well. Place the browned ground beef into a large crock pot. Toss in the beans, corn and tomatoes, juices and all. Add 2 cups water and seasoning packets and stir to mix. Cover and cook in the crockpot for about 3 hours on high. You can garnish with some shredded cheese or sour cream if you like. Serve with crackers and enjoy.
