Tic Tac Taco Soup 147 Food

TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and soft, about 2 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring to break it up into small crumbles, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. Stir in the taco and ranch seasonings until well combined.
• Add the tomatoes, beans, corn and 1 teaspoon salt. Fill one of the bean cans with water and add it to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through, about 10 minutes.
• Serve in bowls with scallion greens, Cheddar, sour cream and pico de gallo.

TACO SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic and cook until they have started to soften, about 1 minute. Add the beef and sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook the beef, breaking it up with a spatula, until it is cooked through and browned, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and taco seasoning, then stir to combine.
• Stir in the black beans, corn, tomatoes with green chiles and vegetable stock. Add a few dashes of hot sauce, then stir well and bring to a simmer. Simmer to allow the flavors to come together and the liquid to slightly thicken, 10 to 15 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
• Serve in bowls, garnished with the Cheddar, sour cream, cilantro and more hot sauce to taste. Crumble over the corn chips.
