Taco Soup

I adapted this recipe from one my mom gave me. Super yum, super easy, super awesome crockpot meal.

Ingredients:

• 1-14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with green chilies
• 2-14.5 oz cans petite diced tomatoes, preferably no salt added
• 1-14.5 oz can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
• about 2 cups/16 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
• about 12-14 oz of water
• 2 cups/16 oz frozen corn
• 1 package of mild taco seasoning mix
• 1 package of ranch dressing mix
• Optional toppings: tortilla chips, green onions, avocado, sour cream, shredded cheese, cilantro

Directions:

1. Combine all ingredients into a crockpot and stir.
2. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours. Garnish with your choice of the optional toppings.

Notes about this recipe:

1. You can fudge on the bean amounts. It's up to you and how much of each bean you prefer.
2. The soup also tastes good without the ranch packet.
   
3. If you are using a regular taco seasoning package (not mild) but don't want it too spicy then just add half the package.
