Trisha Yearwood Taco Soup Food

TRISHA YEARWOOD'S TORTILLA SOUP

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large soup pot.
• Add garlic and onion, and saute until soft.
• Add flour and stir well. Saute for 1 minute.
• Add the broth and the half-and-half. (I boiled the chicken before hand in 6 comes of water to make the broth.)
• Stir in cream of chicken soup, salsa, chicken, beans, corn, cumin and fajita seasoning.
• Continue to simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Stir a lot to prevent anything from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
• Optional: Top it with tomatoes, green onions, cilantro, shredded cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips and black olives.

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.

BUILD-YOUR-OWN TACO BAR

Steps:

• For the taco meat: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering.
• In a small mixing bowl, combine the cumin, onion powder, garlic powder, chili powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
• Add the ground beef and pork to the hot oil and cook, breaking the meat apart with a wooden spoon, until crumbled and deeply browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in the spice blend and remove from the heat.
• For the taco veggie filling: Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the vegetables and cook to warm through. Remove from the heat, add the salt and pepper and stir in the salsa.
• For the taco bar: Serve the taco meat and veggies with the flour and corn tortillas, avocado, lime wedges, tomatoes, sour cream, cheese, cilantro, radishes and hot sauce on the side.
