Taco Soup

This is something my mom made a lot growing up. However, I actually got this variation from my sister in-law Jenna. We love this for a yummy (quick and easy) dinner.

1 lb. ground beef

1 onion, chopped

1 pkg. taco seasoning

2/3 cup picante sauce

1 can diced tomato

1 can black beans

1 can kidney beans

1 can whole kernal corn

sliced olives

1 packet Ranch Dressing mix (optional)

--Brown hamburger with onion, drain grease. Add ingredients to beef in a large soup pan. Bring to a boil. I like to add the Ranch dressing mix to our soup...and I omit the picante sauce (it works fine with both together). Add water until soup is desired thickness. Serve with tortilla chips or corn chips, and top with cheese and sour cream. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes.
