I cook my little heart out and I don't get near as many compliments as do
for this funny little soup called "Taco Soup". It so easy to make just
dumping in cans of food. Everyone has their version of Taco Soup, but mine
is

Taco Soup

1 pound Extra Lean ground turkey
1 package Taco Seasoning (I make my own I don't like all the salt of store
boughtf)
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 can pinto beans, undrained
1 can kidney beans, undrained
1 can black bean, drained (I drain this one because I don't want the black
liquid)
1 can petite cut tomatoes
1 can corn
1 can diced green chiles

Brown turkey meat in a little bit of olive oil. Then proceed to one and
dump in each can. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes and it's ready to
serve.

Ground turkey is disgusting, especially for soup... and what kinda bean
soup with no onions, garlic, or celery... yours is "Take A Dump Soup".

We might be more interested in what and how you actually cook than in
this.

If you mean everyone opens and dumps canned things in pots, no not
everyone does that.

It's nice that you and yours like this. Often people here in rfc offer
suggestions for alternatives and improvements to posted recipes, but
this one looks beyond improvement.

Does that mean it's perfect as-is?

I'm going to try this soup, but will use beef instead of turkey. I
have extremely low-energy days sometimes, but we still have to eat.
This seems like just the ticket for one of those days.

If I have suggestions for change after trying it (next month), I'll
post them. (I'm not sure about the ranch dressing, but I'll try to
keep an open mind)

I'm not sure why people feel the need to be nasty about others' tastes
in food. :o(

I suppose that's aimed at me, though I don't see anything nasty in my
post. Sarcastic, for sure. Here's a view of where that comes from.
Not a defense, because none is needed, but just to give an idea....

In spite of all the content-free chitchat and OT stuff, a lot of
information about food and cooking is exchanged in rfc. To my way of
thinking, one of the reasons people exchange information and ideas is
to improve things. That means to raise standards and to broaden
horizons. To move on from what used to be satisfactory to that which
is better. Opening a can of mushroom soup is fine. Learning to sauté
mushrooms and add them to a white sauce and flavor them with something
purposely chosen to complement the rest of the dish is better. And so
on, examples abound.

I have learned many things about food and cooking from rfc posters. My
standards have been raised, my horizons broadened. Nevertheless, there
are posts nearly every day that seem to try to work in the other
direction. To dumb down. To substitute, to compromise, to settle for
the easiest. To assemble without thought. Almost all the time I can
and do ignore them. Now and then one will come along that just irks
me. It nearly always is the combination of something that sounds
dreadful along with an enthusiastic proclamation of how much everyone
likes it. It causes me to sputter, to burp, to fart, to expostulate
sarcastically. Then I feel better.

None of this has any importance whatsoever. But you asked,...sorta.

1 can corn
1 can diced green chiles

Brown turkey meat in a little bit of olive oil. Then proceed to one and
dump in each can. Simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes and it's ready to
serve.

Okay, this has been driving me nuts since an earlier post regarding
RFC suggestions for improvement. This is absolutely not to say that
the original recipe isn't good. This is how I would make it:

Change the turkey to beef (personal preference)
Skip the taco seasoning and ranch dressing
Drain the beans and corn
Use spicy V-8 juice for the liquid
Add chili powder to taste

I very much appreciate the basis for this soup. As I stated earlier,
I'm prone to very low-energy days. I'm sure a lot of fibromyalgia
sufferers, etc. have the same issue. This soup will improved people's
lives. Really. Sometimes, I just eat graham crackers because I'm too
tired to cook. This gives me a tasty, nutritious alternative to
crackers.

Thank you Lynne,
Carol

LOL! Yeah, I sorta did. I just posted what my version would be.
Please feel free to make seasoning suggestions. I'm pretty content
with the main ingredients, for the reasons stated below my version.

I'd be interested to know what goes into your Taco Seasoning. If I were
making this, I'd use ancho chile powder, smoked paprika, garlic powder,
cumin, and oregano as the taco seasoning. I'd also include a couple chopped
onions when browning the turkey, and I'd think about using canned jalapeños
(depending on who would be eating it).

I'd serve this with an orange-jícama relish and guacamole with homemade
tortilla chips. Beer would go well, I think.

Thanks!

Bob

I see a lot of shared recipes here for things that one finds good and thinks
others might want to try.

I think this is the only recipe I make that requires the opening of cans....
OK so many cans. I know that everyone doesn't cook like that, because I
don't either. That's what I find facinating about this recipe... it's
actually good when it seems like it wouldn't be.

Yes Carol definitely keep an open mind. The Ranch dressing as a seasoning
seemed very odd to me too. If I hadn't had a bowl of it at a friends house
I might not have tried it. As I wrote the recipe down I repeated several
times "a package of ranch dressing mix?!"

I use extra lean turkey just because it's lower in fat than beef. I have to
agree with a previous poster in that ground turkey can be flavorless and not
very desireable. In this soup though I found it to fit perfectly... maybe
because, the taco and ranch seasonings really flavor it up. I tried using
ground beef and to me it just didn't seem as good.

The beauty of this soup and it can be made in with many different things. I
have a friend that adds a bag of frozen Mexican vegetables. It was just
too... well... ahh... vegetabley for me for lack of a better word. It's a
fast easy soup and you can use things you have on hand. I'll look for my
taco seasoning recipe.
