Taco Soup

I got this recipe at a Weight Watcher's meeting a few years ago and made it recently. Now my DH is addicted to it so I make it frequently. You can modify it to your own liking!

1 lb lean ground beef or turkey
1 small onion
minced garlic, to your liking
1 pkg taco seasoning 1 pkg Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix
1 can black beans, rinsed & drained
kidney beans (I use 1 can of regular and 1 can of spicy, rinsed and drained)
1 can rotel tomatoes
1 bag frozen corn (if you can find fire roasted, like at Trader Joe's, even better!)
V-8 juice

Brown ground meat with onions and garlic. Drain off any visible fat. Stir in packets of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix. Start dumping in remaining items. Add V-8 juice to your liking .. more for 'soup' less for 'stoup'. Heat through. Top each bowl with a dollop of lowfat sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips. YUM, YUM!!
Great low fat, fiber friendly meal!
