Taco Soup

Another snowy and windy day here on the northern prairie.  The big flakes are absolutely beautiful when the wind isn't blowing them sideways across the sky!  When the wind calms down, or the area is sheltered, they float effortlessly to the ground in a clump of fluffy crystals.  The wind and cold have me thinking again of soup for supper.  Here is another one of my favorite go to recipes.  A kid pleasing bowl of taco soup.

Taco Soup

1 large can crushed tomatoes (20-24 oz)

1 1/2 lb hamburger, brown and drain

1 packet of taco seasoning

2 cans sweet corn (don't drain)

2 cans black beans (rinse and drain)

Serve with sour cream, shredded cheddar cheese, corn or tortilla chips, and olives.
