Marie's Taco Soup - Fast, Easy and Muy Bien!

In large frying pan cook 1 lb hamburger and some chopped onions until browned. Drain.

If you don't eat beef you can do ground chicken or turkey or if you don't eat meat leave this step out.

Meanwhile, in stock pot put:

1 can garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed

1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed

1 can white beans, drained and rinsed

1 can black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can corn with juice

1 can olives, sliced

1 can diced tomatoes (I always run them through the blender because we hate chunks)

1 can tomato paste

and enough water to make it soupy

Add the hamburger and onion mixture and

2 pkg powdered taco seasoning

Let it simmer with the lid on until flavors have blended. It can be an hour or less or you can cook in the crock pot all day.

Serve it topped with tortilla chips, sour cream and shredded cheese. Yum.
