We decided a while back we’d try some different soups.  This is one I found when I wanted something new.  There are other recipes out there, but this one was quick and easy.  I have a habit of changing recipes, so I’ve added some notes.

1 lb. hamburger

1/2 c. onion

3 c. water

2 (16 oz.) cans stewed tomatoes (I used a quart of tomatoes I had done back in last summer.  I’ve also used a can of rotel.  Makes it a little spicier.)

Salt to taste (I didn’t add any.  There’s enough in the taco seasoning)

2 (16 oz.) cans kidney beans, not drained (I’ve also made it with chili beans)

2(18 oz.) cans tomato sauce

1 pkg. taco seasoning

*We’ve added a can of corn as well.

On side:

1 pkg tortilla chips

Cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

Brown hamburger and onion.  Add remaining ingredients and simmer for 20 minutes.  Now, here’s where I differ again from the directions.  It says to put the chips on the bottom, but we put them on top, then top that with cheese.  Makes a nice little topping.
