This is our family's go-to taco soup recipe.  I know there are a lot of taco soup recipes out there that claim they are the world's best and so life-changing, but I think this is the only one you need.  It makes a lot and they are always asking me to bring it to family events.  Even in the summer time.  I have never tried a better taco soup recipe and I don't think I ever will.  It is so easy, hearty, and delicious.  The best part is that it is good for you!  I can eat an entire cup for 265 calories (I added up every ingredient)!  And it fills me up!  I crave this soup.  Definitely my favorite soup ever! 

Rating: 5 stars Difficulty of Recipe: 1 star
Things that I changed:  I add an extra packet of taco seasoning.  I like it extra taco-y!  I also do not add the water from the tomato soup can.  I like mine thicker.  If you want it more runny, add the water
Things that I would do differently next time: Nothing
Will I make it again?  Is that even a question?
Recipe from: My own :)

Ingredients:
1 pound ground lean turkey meat
2 cans or 1 big can of diced tomatoes (I used the fire roasted)
1 package low sodium taco seasoning (I used 2)
1 can tomato soup 
1 can dark kidney beans
3 small cans diced olives
1 can corn

Directions:
1. Brown the ground turkey meat.
2. Add all of the cans into the pot.
3. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to low.  Let simmer for about 20 minutes.
3. That's it!  So easy!  Enjoy
Serves 8.5

  3. Olives are very calorie intensive, and canned soup and veggies have so much salt - so it would really be helpful if the nutrition information was included so we could 'see' how skinny it is.

    1. Here is what I did when I made it 2 nights ago. I added up every can I put in and also the turkey meat in calories. The recipe made 8.5 cups. I divided the calories by 8.5. It made it 265 calories a serving. It was skinnied up a little reducing the calories by using turkey meat and low sodium taco seasoning. Right now I don't provide the nutritional information on my blog but I may in the future. This is just a fun blog to share my recipes and those that I find with others and keeping them easy and delicious for busy families. If you want me to remove the skinny from the picture to make yourself feel better about it I will, but I consider anything that you can make quickly and easily and have it under 300 calories a serving a skinny recipe. Hope this helps! :)

  4. For those worried about sodium from canned foods, they do make LOW-SODIUM tomato soup....just use common sense and buy that and stop complaining! For God's sake...bitch, bitch. bitch when a recipe gift is given to you!

  5. Quick question...I am guessing that you drain the corn and beans, but I wanted to make sure. Sounds great! Can't wait to try it!

  9. For step 2, do you add the cans to the turkey or do you prepare it seperately and add everything together after?

    Please and thanks. :) Can't wait to try this!
