I am a widowed lady and I found your UA-cam videos I have never made taco soup and I thought it would be too much for one person, but I decided to make it anyway. It was so delicious that I ate it for 4 days and I passed it out to my neighbors who loved it also. I ended up making another batch a few days later! Thank you
I am divorced within the last few years, so like you, I try not to cook too much food. I froze half the batch. It should thaw well.
I made this for my deer hunters today and it smells delicious. Can’t wait to dish it out for them❤
l
It is simple and so good! I even love just the broth. There's something about soup on a dreary, cold day. It will warm you down to your ties 😊
Tom, this recipe is delicious!
I just have one question for you, why are you using a spoon to chop up the ground beef and cook it? I mean you can do it the way you want obviously but it was making me crazy watching you. 😁
When my wife were first married ( 45 yrs ago ), we lived next door to a lady who had Down Syndrome. She was a sweet and kind person. My wife had very little culinary experience and felt badly about not really knowing much about cooking. One day she mentioned this problem and the lady showed her how to make this dish. Since we were living in San Antonio, Texas, she called this , Mexican Stew. We loved it and have been enjoying ever since. Thank you for sharing this recipe. It is a great way to feed a lot of people fast. No more than 15 minutes from start to finish. Enjoy!
I made this today, but used chicken and chicken broth instead. It was fantastic! It was the easiest taco soup I’ve ever made! Thank you for sharing!
I got married right out of Highschool not even knowing how to cook chicken! This UA-cam channel has helped me so much and not only that but every-time I cook something it is SO GOOD! Thank you so much. ♥️
I definitely would add onion while browning the meat and some peppers (jalapeños if you are so inclined). This looks good. 😊❤
I love soup recipes. Once I have made a batch, I freeze the soup in large muffin tins. When the soup is frozen I pop them out and store them in freezer bags. I often take my lunch to work. . . so I put one frozen soup portion in a soup mug with a microwaveable lid. By lunchtime the soup is thawed a bit and can be easily heated up for a hot lunch.
What a neat trick! Very smart idea, indeed! Thank you so much for sharing that with us all.
Great idea...❤
That is a wonderful idea
😮
Great idea for the "muffin" portions. Another great reason for me to pick up a muffin tin!
O.m.g.!!! I made it tonight. It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!!! On the table in under 40 minutes! I omitted the ranch seasoning. Had only Pinto, Kidney beans, & rotel lime cilantro diced tomatoes + the tom sauce + reg diced tom + 1 cup frozen white sweet corn on hand. I really loved it because no added salt necessary! Tysm for sharing this awesome soup!
I love taco soup! This recipe looks so easy and so good. In addition to the sour cream, and shredded cheese I like to slice up a quarter of an avocado and put that on top. Yum!
Oh yes. I love avocado. So that's a great idea! We appreciate that you've watched our channel.
Tip.....chopped onions and green peppers and some garlic in pan before you brown the meat and...never put the freezer bags in the frig in the racks...it will form frozen around the rungs and you wont get it out. I did this once so I know. Corn bread also is a nice addition. Great meal in the winter time.
all u have to do is lay them out on a cookie pan
We love Taco Soup and we put a lot more beans in than you do, a few different things, and not a few things you do, however, i was just so curious I have to make this the way you did. I love watching you cook because you do not waste anything. You scrape a bowl it gets it all. These others channels act like there is a race to add things and leave so much left in a bowl or can. That drives me nuts. Such a waste. Your stuff is lined up, basically cleaning as you go and I so appreciate seeing that. I like how you present your dish and I too love to hear the stories behind the recipe or if its a family recipe your showing us. Thank You and Melissa for the way the Channel is presented to us and I do really love the recipes. I share them often and add you to my Pinterest which I hope is okay. Love making cornbread if I'm not using chips. He loves to use Frito Lays and that is good too. 🥣❤
I've made this twice since finding your site 3 weeks ago. It is just two of us so I froze half of it the first time. Yesterday we had a soup and chili luncheon at church, so I made a double batch, I kept 1/3 of it at home to freeze, and took the rest to church.
I only got home with about 12 ounces of it left. Thank you for a great recipe and I see others here that I will be trying.
I add chopped onion in mine. This soup doesn’t last two days. We love this !!!
Don’t worry about saying the recipes are your favorites bc thats what we want……your favorites! I wouldn’t be coming back for your recipes if I didnt trust your taste buds! I could “Come Sit at Your Table” for EVERY meal!
My favorite is the one I made for that day!! WouIdn't make it if I didn't Iove it, right? : )
I love a good Taco soup. I will have to try this with beef only. I usually make it with 1 lb ground beef and 1 lb ground turkey. Mine does not call for tomato sauce but that looks yummy. For all of those writing comments, please press the “like” button even if you aren’t subscribed. This helps the channel. With the UA-cam algorithm it will help to increase the number of people who can view Tom & Melissa. I came upon this channel accidentally and enjoy the recipes.
Wow, made a triple batch and served to a crowd last night at a local ministry I serve at. They went wild over this soup! I got a standing ovation and many, many thanks. So now I want to thank you both for the recipes you share with us. Love your channel! ❤
Yum! Making it tonight!
I just saw your taco soup a few days ago. I made a special grocery trip to get the ingredients and made the recipe. We loved it!! Thank you for sharing.
Oh my goodness, I made your taco soup today. A cool morning, and soup sounded good. I made a bit of a change ..... I had a green pepper in the fridge that needed to be used, and added small onion (chopped). How fast to put together and a big hit with my husband! I fixed 5 cheese bread to go with it! Yummy meal!! A definite keeper to make again! Thank you!
We’re so happy to hear that it was a hit! Thank you for letting us know!
That sounds great !! I guess there are many variations to this soup. 😊
Onions definitely
I definitely would have left the pot to be ready for the hamburger and create the Millard effect. Don’t touch it until it’s brown probably 4 minutes before turning.
@@comesitatmytable9044I'm making this right now. So far it tastes a lot like chili.
I make Taco Soup all the time in my crock pot. It's amazing cooked on low all day, and as with all soups & casseroles, it is always better the next day.
I can mine in pressure canner. Such a quick hearty dinner
@@MyLiviCreations Oh yum.
@@michelewalkerwebb😅
My wife and I were planning on having a rotisserie chicken for dinner I had purchased earlier. While watching UA-cam on TV we came across your recipe for this Taco soup. We liked the look so much that we changed our dinner plans. I actually went back to the store and bought all the ingredients needed to make this soup. We loved it. The only thing we did differently was we added some cilantro to it, and topped the soup off with some chopped scallions over the sour cream. Thanks for posting this recipe. It was very good!😊
@daviddaviski8069 I have used rotisserie chicken in the Taco soup instead of the ground beef. I just take the chicken off the bone and shred it up. I sauté some onions up too to add. I put it all in the crockpot and let it all get good and hot…serve it up with some cornbread….YUM
I think adding rotisserie chicken shredded would be delicious in this soup !!
I bet it would have been good substituting the rotisserie chicken for the beef!
I just want to say thank you for this delicious recipe. I was at a quandary of what to cook for dinner and I saw this. I'm grateful! 🎉
I make this soup but have never divided. The three cans of beans I use are Black, Kidney beans and Ranch Style Pinto Beans, but I don't drain or rinse. Also, instead of the tomato sauce and beef broth I put in a jar of salsa. My favorite soup, so good. I so enjoy your recipes.
Thank you so much for that! We are so happy to have you joining us at the table. And we love that with cooking, there are so many ways to make a recipe fit our personal preferences.
I make a version of Taco soup too! My family loves it!! I like to catch ground round on sale, buy close to 10 pounds, bring it home and cook it that day! I freeze the bags like you said, Tom...flat, then store them like books on library shelves! I'm so happy I found your UA-cam page! I'm now a loyal watcher!!
A friend of mine told me about your channel and I've been thoroughly enjoying watching your videos. I do a very similar taco soup recipe, and taco soup is one of my favorites. I do need to try it though with the multiple types of beans. I love that you are not afraid to share that you are people of faith! Keep it up!
I just watched your Taco Soup video yesterday. I immediately made my list of ingredients. Bought all of the ingredients this morning right down to the chips. This AMAZING soup is now on the stove and awaiting to be served for dinner. How do I know it’s amazing? I may have already stolen a bite or two 😊. Oh, and also the ease of preparation. Total win-win!!!!!!
My husband and I are retired teachers in California. We love to cook once and eat from the meal one or two or three times. I like how your recipes are mostly simple and most ingredients are from the pantry, freezer and for us from our canning pantry.
You are both a great team. Melissa is great with the camera and I like the way you have all the ingredients out and ready to go so that you can explain while you are making the recipe.
I enjoy your videos. You can come cook in my kitchen in California!!!
We will even let you come sit at our table.
Thank you for that invitation! We love to travel, and we've always enjoyed visiting California.
We have really enjoyed creating this channel together. Thank you so much for supporting it by watching our videos.
Pardon my inexperience, but aside from the beans, what's the difference between this and chili...not that I don't love both and would for sure try this soup.
@@alciraproenza-collazoUses taco seasoning instead of chili seasoning.
Just a tip I use to freeze things in freezer bags...... I lay my bags of food on a small broiler tray (without the rack) in the freezer, so they stay flat. Then when frozen they stack better and don't have any bumps or curves! Just a thing I do. I have an old bottom pan I use from a discarded broiler pan, fits perfectly in my freezer. I use it to freeze berries or grapes or cut fruits first, then I put in bags after frozen! I freeze my chopped meat flat in bags and score it like a candy bar and then crack off a hamburger when I want one and not have to defrost the whole package of meat for 1 or 2 burgers! God Bless! ( soup looks delicious!)
Great ideas!! I just love aII of the tips I pick up on these recipe channeIs.
When I was a kid we had a chest freezer. My Dad would by 25 lbs of hamburger when it went on sale.
We formed an assembly line in the kitchen and made hamburgers by hand. You knew exactly what size and thickness from practice. We would take cookie sheets and line them with wax paper. Lay out the burgers. 2 layers with wax paper between. Then Dad stacked them in the freezer. The next day when they were frozen we took them out abd cut the sheets into 4x3 burgers. My Dad had big zip lock bags he bought at a commercial restaurant supply. We filled those and zipped them up with a layer of wax paper on top. Back in the freezer they went, stacked high.
Then before school on burger days, one of our jobs was to take a big platter and open the zip lock bags and take out X number of burgers to thaw. Worked great already pre-shaped. Ready to hit the pan or grill when Dad got home. (Mom passed away from cancer) Sped dinner up. Toss the wax paper, wash up the platter and put the cooked burgers on it. Clean up was after the next nights meal prep, then wash or dry duty or table and kitchen clean up and trash out. We were always done in under an hour. Then back to finish our home work. I was the potato salad maker. Still make a mean potato salad.
Did I say my Dad was a Marine Corp drill sergeant as part of his time in the service? The bed was made before your feet hit the floor in the morning. As long as you did your assignments, he was cool.
I really like how you both explain it very well on everything you cook. I used to cook in our family of eight to just me and I always cook the same amount but I give my food away to Neighbors. I do a lot of smoke meats as well and get lots of request. I enjoy watching your videos
Love taco soup! I was introduced to it at the airport restaurant in Punta Gorda, FL. Used to go there with friends for lunch. Then they lost their cook! The next guy didn’t make it so I decided to make it myself. My recipe is just like yours except I make BIG batches so I can freeze portions. Good video. Thanks!
We are like you; we really like having soups frozen away for a quick lunch or dinner! Thanks for your very nice comment. We really appreciate you watching our channel.
I love this recipe. It is one of my favorites. The only thing I do is cook mine in a slow cooker and serve it on Halloween night to my family. Also, I top mine with Fritos and shredded cheese. By, the way I have fixed a lot of your recipes and my tribe has loved everyone of them. Thank you for sharing.Toni.
We love the idea of the crockpot - it's great to have dinner waiting for you like that in a hot pot filled with deliciousness. And I love the Halloween tradition your family has created. Thank you for sharing your story with us.
My mom always made sloppy Joe’s on Halloween night 🧡
Fritos sound perfect!
We make this every Halloween too! Great minds think alike! 👻
Just came across this. Looks delicious.
I make this but I use kidney beans, chili beans and of course the black beans. It's so good!
Thanks for this easy to make taco soup. I LOVE meals when I can grab a bunch of cans and dump them together. Like chili. Now I’ll have another one to use.
This one is so easy. You're right. It's super convenient to make. Thank you so much for watching our channel. We really do appreciate it.
Love Taco Soup and have several recipes but yours certainly is the easiest. Also, the freezing of cooked beef in one pound packages makes perfect sense. Thanks again.
Taco Soup is one of my favorite soups, and I love the thin and crispy Cantina chips. I think I hear a bowl of soup calling my name! lol. And this would be great for game time this weekend.
A Tex-Mex favorite! I’d fry some onions and garlic in the meat as well, for additional seasoning. God bless you for sharing these amazing recipes.
Thank you so much for your encouraging comment. We sure do appreciate it.
Yes maam, we did the exact same by adding chopped onions and minced garlic in our taco soup today! Only makes it taste that much better!
Everything is better with garlic😊
and also i use DORITOS..
I also do the onions and garlic. For beans I use 1 can pinto and 1 can kidney beans. I put the 1 can corn and 1 can of hominy.
Oh, I'm glad I found you two! I love Taco anything. I have made Taco Soup and Taco Casseroles a few times. I don't use recipes much but this one I will capture. I think that I have almost everthing. 💝
My husband made this soup yesterday. DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for the recipe. ❤
I will be making this soup soon. I have to watch my sodium, so I use no salt added to the beans, beef broth corn, and unsalted chips. I can't wait to make it. Thank you😊
I always add chopped onion, celery and carrots to it for better nutrition
Thank you for tip. I will add carrots to my next soup. 🙂
Love watching you cook. Also the stories on where recipes came from and how you made them your own. Just simple, delicious down home cooking! Love it! Don’t ever change your format.🥰
Thank you so much! We appreciate your kind, encouraging comments.
@@comesitatmytable9044 ..I'm at my "ideal weight" right now. But after binge-watching some of your wonderful shows, I know I'm going to put on 20lbs, over the winter! (In a good way ;-) Tell the gentleman I laughed out loud when I started this show and saw his T-shirt! Than man is a riot...😜 🤪 😁 🤣 😂
I made taco soup last night as I do every couple of months. I get 8 dinners for 2 out of every batch. It freezes so well and is an easy meal on days when time and energy are in short supply.
Yummy 😋 🍲 soup, thanks for good video 🌸🌼
Tried your Taco Soup recipe, and good grief, was it ever delicious! I’m not normally a “bean” kind of person, but this soup was great! Thank you for sharing your recipe!
Now wanting to try your Taco Salad recipe!
We loved reading this! And we hope you like the taco salad just as much as the taco soup! Thank you very much for watching our channel.
Love your videos. Such a clean kitchen. Excellent camera work. Love it when you scrape the mixing bowls or cans clean. I add cumin to this recipe and think it tastes and smells great in this soup. Hope you enjoy making these videos cuz i enjoy watching. Please keep up the good work.
I think the taco seasoning has cumin in it?
@@oirampeceda2409 mccormick taco seasoning does, yes, but I throw in a little more for taco soup. So much volume of food, a little extra zazzle never hurts.
Taco soup is one of my favorite soups for fall! Yum!
I made it today for lunch... Super easy and delicious...I used Doritos instead of tortilla chips and Mexican cheese blend instead of cheddar...Otherwise, it was just like your video... Some diced onion with sour cream and cheese is another great topping...Thanks for this one, it's a keeper!
This Taco Soup recipe looks so delicious 😋 Mr. Tom.
We really enjoy this soup. We hope you do, too. Thank you so much for watching.
This recipe was passed around my office back in the eighties and has been THE go-to staple for get togethers. Being Texans we of course add onions and a small can of green chilies. The possibilities are endless.
I'm really looking forward to making this soup. I live by myself here in Mississippi, and I can freeze the rest for later on. Thanks for sitting at your table! Have a nice day!!!
I love taco soup. I like putting my chips on top so it doesn't get soggy. I also use the tri blend beans that kroger sells...great video
sharonpatton9268-Will have to look for those beans, next time I go to Kroger.(That would save time opening all those cans! Thanks for the tip!).Will try & make this soup soon, but will leave out the Ranch Seasoning. And get low or no sodium beans.(Have to watch my sodium intake cause have High Blood Pressure). This recipe looks sooo good, like all your recipes do.
We also love our taco soup! Our original recipe is a little different though…we use 3 cans of pintos, 2 cans of diced tomatoes, 1 can of corn and 1 can of hominy. Also all of those cans are added to 2 lbs of browned ground beef and an onion diced and sautéed, with one packet of taco seasoning. Topped with Fritos, grated cheddar, sour cream and hot sauce. Yummy! I love y’all’s use of the rotel so next time I make it I’ll switch out a can of the diced for the rotel, or just add it additionally 😊and also the hidden valley ranch dressing mix sounds like a great addition. Now I can’t wait to make a batch! 😋
9:35 the taco soup looks absolutely delicious! I like those dump recipes, so quick and easy to make.
I don’t know how this channel got in my feed, but I am so glad it did. I made this recipe this afternoon after going to the grocery store with the list of ingredients needed. The only thing I changed was I used Ground Turkey instead of ground beef. Oh my, oh my, so easy and sooo good. Oh, I also used the mild RoTel, and it was spicy enough for me. Thank you for posting this recipe.
Thanks for sharing this easy recipe step by step. With the exception of the great northern beans and sour cream, I got all of the canned goods and broth and cheese at a food pantry 🙏🏾. I love the vocal support of your wife. You two are clearly an amazing team.
I made the soup for my deer hunters today. The weather is just right and I’m sure they’re gonna love it. It smells delicious. Can’t wait to serve it to them.❤
I've been making this exact soup for years & I always make at least a 6 quart dutch oven full & freeze it. It's my absolute favorite!! But my favorite way to eat mine is with Fritos Scoops. Although I do like it with the Cantina style chips, too. Tfs!! God Bless you both!!🙇♀️✝️💜
Fixed this Taco soup today and it was delicious. Froze about 2/3 thirds and can't wait till next week. We've tried about a dozen of your meals and your batting 100. keep up the good work. From 2 retired Texans.
That is awesome! We are so happy that you've enjoyed several of our recipes. We love that kind of feedback! We are happy to have you with us in Texas!
I just had open heart surgery and I am stuck at home watching for some heart healthy recipes just I so enjoy all your videos
That taco soup looks amazing! Thank you so much for sharing your recipe. 😋
Ad chopped onion to your hamburger
I'm having Taco soup for dinner tomorrow Thanks for the info. I made a double batch today 9/29/2023 and shared some with my neighbor it was awesome it will be my new go-to soup for family and friends.
Great easy recipe...Id probably simmer it for 30+mins to let the flavor bloom together. I will try this the next rainy day we have or on Taco soup Tuesday. Would even be great with a few easy tacos 🌮 👏
I love this recipe. I make it all the time. Never tried great northern beans though. Love this. I have several servings in my freezer in freezer bags. Yum!!
We love having this wonderful dinner waiting in the freezer for whenever we want and/or need a quick meal. Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate it.
Hello Tom and Melissa hope yall have a great week coming up. Can't wait to try this delicious looking taco soup how great this will taste on a cold night to warm you up. Thanks for all the other great recipes as well. Take care and God Bless.
I love this soup we make it alot its delicious thank you so much
Been making this for yrs. It is a family favorite, we love it. Instead of Tostitos, add Frito’s, or our favorite-Cornbread!!! It’s so good. I really enjoy your videos
This is amazing. I didn’t know what to cook with the cost of food. But all I had to purchase was the turkey meat. Praise God! And it’s delicious and filling, my husband complimented me on the flavor of the soup. YOU ARE AMAZING. I AM IN TEXAS ❤
A Texas lady coworker brought this soup to work in a crockpot last Friday. I'm a skinny guy folks, went back for seconds AND another lady's cornbread. I need to eat more, and this soup EASILY helps to stoke the appetite. Thank you for posting. Making this soup for the first time for Super Bowl.
My Taco Soup recipe is similar to yours. I call it my "A Can of This and A Can of That Soup." We eat this in the wintertime. I spray tortillas with PAM and put in a flat pan in the oven. My family loves to break them up and eat with this soup. Also, this makes a great thing to make if you are the hostess for your Bunco group. I have done this several times with a Mexican theme menu. Thanks for your videos.
Great idea to make crispy tortillas!! Thanks!
Looks great, I’m going to try it. Enjoyed y’all’s show.
First time watcher. Can’t wait to try it this next week. First grandson being born Saturday if not before and this would be a great meal to make for the family that they could eat whenever. Thanks, Old Chief, Texas
I want to thank you for this recipe. My family and I love it and I make it often. We prefer it without sour cream and chips but lots of cheddar cheese on top. Wilmington NC
This sounds delicious, plus quick & easy for a week-night dinner. I've got my grocery list ready to pick up ingredients...
Thank you!
YUM!
I’ve made something very similar to this. I’ll have to find that corn.
As for toppings/ sides: corn bread or corn tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, and homemade jalapeños (easy to make… hint hint future video)
Great ideas there, Patrick!
Great looking soup by the way, I also agree with you about the addition of great northern beans. Which dresses up this presentation very nicely. I laughed when you said to your wife, well it looks like the soup is ready, if you want to try a bite? She replied, well... I'm going to have more than a bite, I'm going to have lunch! Too funny...
Thank you for sharing your wonderful quick recipe. I can't wait to try it! God Bless you both & your family.
Hi Tom and Melissa, my name is Rose Lillquist and I live in Albuquerque New Mexico I just turned 61 and I was watching your soup on your taco soup and that looks so delicious I’m gonna make it. I love to cook and cooking just helps me to relax and I just enjoy it. Keep up the good recipes.
Yum! I think it would go well with cornbread, too! I make a special cornbread with mild green chilis, cheddar cheese and a small can of drained corn.
Yes, I make mine with corn bread too !
Me too…I make a recipe called sour cream corn bread. Also I put onions in my taco soup. Pretty Yummy. 👍
I love the idea of eating it with corn bread! And ... Cricket’s idea of onions sounds great - I plan to put some green onions in mine as well!
@@kaybutler2394 yes mam the onion makes it even better I think…use about a medium sized onion, or if your like me, I don’t measure a lot of ingredients…
I also cook mine in the crockpot, after browning the meat and onions…
Another thing I do is, I wash all the beans, and add a little more beef broth.
Hey BTW…the green onion sounds great….Good idea!! ENJOY
Now that Fall has officially arrived, it is time for soup and stews, and this great recipe is starting me off! Thanks, you two for all the great cooking videos you share ❤
This is a great taco soup recipe love it and so easy❤ ty so much. GOD BLESS 🙏🙏
Hi fellow Kentuckians--love your videos. This recipe was mentioned in Comment sections of several of your other recipes, so I thought I would try it and--the whole family loved it! Your cornbread dressing is the absolute bomb. Keep up the good work.
Loved the soup recipe and your clear presentation. Your comment at the end, “you are always welcome to come sit at my table.” Is so sweet and felt like dessert!
We love taco soup with hominy instead of corn sometimes. My recipe is not a dump soup but this sounds so good! Going to make soon!
This looks so delicious! I’m going to try it when we Texans get some cooler weather. Right now, it’s just unbearably hot here in College Station. I like the idea of browning the meat and freezing it. I really enjoy your videos. God bless y’all!
Yes-that “hard freeze” recently in Houston where temps dropped to 64! Brrrr
🥶🥶🥶😂
Looks great. I love the way nothing is left behind in the cans. What a easy clean up.
It's a very easy soup to make and it freezes beautifully. In fact, Tom and I thawed out a tub of it tonight and had it for dinner. It's so nice to have a great meal ready and waiting for us in the freezer.
This was your first recipe that I made, followed it to the letter. I was craving Mexican food but didn't want to pay restaurant prices.... This was absolutely perfect, so I made your chicken and dressing casserole next. Thank you for sharing these easy recipes!
This is on the menu for our supper on Tuesday night. Can’t wait. Thank you. 🤗
Quick and easy meal! I love freezing my leftovers like that as well.
This soup freezes beautifully. Thank you so much for watching. We appreciate it.
I made your Dump Taco soup last week, and loved it. I gave some to two friends and they both loved it, and took the recipe.
I'll be making this one again and again.
I can't wait to try the potato soup.
I'm so thankful that my husband found your channel. He made the Taco soup and we absolutely loved it. He's making it again tonight and I am so looking forward to it. It's definitely comfort food on a cold winter night. Looking forward to trying a lot of your other recipes. Thanks, Melissa, for including the recipe.
We are delighted to have you joining us at the table. We are so happy to read that you are enjoying the soup. It's one of our tried-and-true recipes - it's good every time. I'm very glad that the recipes are helpful to you!
Newbie here! Came across your chocolate cake recipe and then couldn’t stop binge watching the rest of your videos! I’m definitely going to try this taco soup recipe. Love how quick and easy it is. And, who doesn’t love anything taco?!?! I really enjoy how down-to-earth you guys are and how welcoming you seem. Keep the recipes coming and God bless! ❤️ Love from Olympia, Washington.
We hope you've been able to enjoy our recipes. We certainly appreciate that you've watched our videos.
Same here 👍
Talk about an easy & fast meal. That's incredible & very delicious looking. Thank you.
I agree. So fast and very easy to prepare. We hope you love it like we do. Thanks for watching our video!
This has been my favorite soup for years,
I really enjoy watching y’all’s videos!!! Melissa, Tom seems like such a sweet Man he makes me think of a Uncle that I had when I was growing up he has passed on now!! Keep up the great videos!!!
I love your videos. They are such simple recipes and so well described. I have taught braille to adventitiously blind adults for 45 years. Last week I recommended your channel to our wonderful cooking teacher. I believe your videos are so well done her students can follow them. Thank you!
That has really been the highlight of our day! Thank you so much for sharing that with us. We really do appreciate that you have shared our video with others. We are delighted to hear people are using our recipes.
I made your soup today and it was delicious! I added extra meat that needed to be used (ground Italian sausage), added onions and some brown sugar at the end to take the bite out of the taco seasoning. I have 2 young granddaughters that don't care for spicy food (neither does Mimi). 😊
That little bit of brown sugar would sweeten it up nicely for them. Thanks so much for watching our channel. We really appreciate it.
🎉Easy and great recipe, I made today for the fam, it was a perfect meal for a rainy day!❤️Thank you, can’t wait to try more recipes!🎉
So good -------- your just getting better showing fantastic recipes each day !!!! I look forward to what's next !!!! THANKS
Love this soup! Love your videos! And I would love to sit at your table , your food always looks so inviting!
We’d love to have you! We really appreciate you watching.
Definitely will be trying this one very soon! Thank you so much!❤
Greetings Tom and Melissa !! Ashland, Ky here... Just wanted to say I love your channel and all the fantastic recipes you share. I made this taco soup for the first time and LOVED it !! Keep making and sharing all the goodness with us !!
This recipe looks great and I'll have to try it.
For those on a cheaper budget...
1 lbs cheap ground beef.
1 half cup of dried beans, any kind you like.
1can rotel
1 can corn
1 pkg taco seasoning
1 large can of tomato sauce
1 large can of tomato paste
The day before start your beans soaking. If you have a lot of gas from beans drain them repeatedly through out your day. Just be sure to soak them for around well I'm not sure but i do it for 24 hours.
If you want to add something healthy get a small pkg of frozen chopped spinach. Defrost it in the fridge when you start soaking your beans. By the way it is ok to use only one type of bean and it can be whatever type you like.
Ok your beans have doubled in size. So cook your meat. A few differences... add 2 cups water and mash the meat up. If you want extra seasoning or don't like the smell of meat cooking add some garlic and/or onion powder, some pepper and i like dried basil. If you have really stinky meat... i add diced Jalapeno and Jalapeno juice, not much, and it really cuts that smell. Boil the beef and water for about 20 minutes.
Now you can drain your corn or not but add your beans and corn to the beef and turn it down to about medium or a little lower. This would be a good time to add spinach or collard greens. Just make sure it is chopped fine. Let it cook for maybe 10 minutes. Lower the temp again to simmer.
You need a large bowl. Something that can take heat. Put half your tomato paste in the bowl. Add your taco seasoning. Now using a small pot or laddle or i use a 2 cup measuring cup scoop out some of your hot liquid CAREFULLY from your meat mixture and slowly pour it in your bowl of tomato paste a little at a time. When you have a little water in the bowl stir the paste and seasoning. You are just trying to make sure your seasoning doesn't clump and to thin down your paste. Add more hot water to the paste and stir. Now slowly add your paste to your meat mix and stir. When your bowl is empty add the rest of your paste and thin it down with hot water from the pot and stirring then add it to the pot. Turn your pot off now.
Adding the tomato products at the end to a simmering pot helps to keep it from sticking.
Now add your tomatoe sauce. Cover the pot. And remember it should already be turned off. Let it rest about 10 minutes. Then enjoy.
I put this on here for people with IBS, the beans are a problem. For people with Diabetes, all the beans and chips are carb heavy. For people with a tight budget, this version is cheaper. Even with today's food prices.
You may have noticed that I didn't say drain the meat. The fat adds some flavor and we aren't adding sour cream or cheese which adds fat and flavor to the video version.
I hope this helps some people and that no one thinks I'm being disrespectful to the video creators. No disrespect meant. Bless you all.
We appreciate how thoughtful you are to take time and make so much effort to share your tips with our viewers That is very kind of you. Thank you so much for watching our channel. Have a wonderful day.
@@comesitatmytable9044 I hope I gave no offense. Thank you for commenting. It will help others to be kind and that is always nice.
So many people have so many medical conditions and they see a recipe like yours and they want it but many are unsure how to change it to their needs. 68% of US citizens make less than 30,000. a year and have families to support. Anyway to stretch the dollar and get extra servings and retain flavor is a help. So many people don't know how to cook and/or are a little afraid to try. Many worry about wasting money trying.
Folks like your selves who put great recipes out there and do the videos are a great gift for people who really need help. This is a real positive side of social media and tells of the positive impact everyone can have.
Let me just say your channel and your efforts have a real and positive impact on people's lives. You make a difference. I want to say personally thank you for your efforts. Bless
Wow wow wow What a great idea. The whole clan will love this when we get together. Nothing fancy, just satisfying & different. Thank you for sharing
We totally agree. It’s such an easy meal to prepare but still so delicious. We hope your family enjoys it.
I am glad I found your channel. I love soup so much and I am watching it in Taco Tuesday. I will be heading to the store to make this today. Thank you both.
I LOVE your shirt. It's raining here on the West Coast and my buddy is making Taco Soup, so I figured I'd look up the recipe. I didn't know you had to drain the black beans, so great tip ! I had weight loss surgery a year ago, so I am a big fan of freezing portions easy reheating. I can barely eat a full meal, so having easy reheatable freezer goodies ( I won't say leftovers ) is a lifesaver. That's so funny how you mention flat and stack, because that's EXACTLY what I do. I have flat stacks of beef both raw and cooked, sauces like Mole for Mexican, Lemon for Chinese Walnut prawns, pulled pork rib meat, BBQ'd pepper mix with ghost, red, green, serano, onion, garlic, etc, and it makes like so easy.
Turned out great! I added a teaspoon of salt and it all came together, thanks!
