Chili Taco Soup

This is another recipe from my good friend Amy that I made back in the Fall when I visited her in Florida.  It was YUMMY!

You will need:

• 2lbs ground beef
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 (4oz) can green chilies
• 1 tsp salt
• ½ tsp pepper
• 3 (14 ½ oz) can stewed tomatoes
• 1 (15oz) can ranch beans, undrained (can use chili beans)
• 1 (15oz) can whole kernel corn, drained
• 1 packet taco seasoning mix or you can make your own found here
• 1 packet Ranch dressing mix
• 2 c water or more to desired consistency

Brown beef with chopped onion and green chilies in a large soup pot. Drain fat. Blend tomatoes and add to meat. Add rest of ingredients and cook (simmer) for 20-30 mins. Makes large pot of soup.
