Good soup... I added chopped green chilis, quite a bit of cumin, and a little cayenne pepper. I didn't have tomato juice, so used a 16-oz. can of tomato sauce and about 2 cups water. My family loved it!

Like many other reviewers, I used V8 instead of the tomato juice and black beans instead of kidney beans. I also added a little cayenne pepper and garlic to give it some kick. Instead of ground beef, I used MorningStar veggie crumbles since I am vegetarian. The soup (more like a stew or a chili) is absolutely delicious and was insanely easy to prepare. Yum!!

WONDERFUL soup! And it is filling, which was very surprising! Definitely recommend if you are on a tight budget and tight time. We were eating 1/2 an hour after starting to make it. Great for families!

This recipe was ok but bland. Do add the whole taco seasoning packet and extras, ie. sour cream, chips, avacado etc. My big gripe with this recipe is it's lack of detail. i.e. canned corn (drained or undrained) etc.

Great!! I added some extra tomato sauce, extra cayenne pepper, and almost the entire taco seasoning packet. I added a cup of beef stock for every serving to make it more "soupy." I used black beans instead of kidney beans and V-8 for the tomato juice. I also added some fajita seasoning, garlic, and cayenne pepper to the meat while it was browning. It gave the meat some pep. My husband absolutely loved it!

I was a little disappointed in this recipe. It tasted more like chili than taco's. For chili it was good but was missing the taco flavor that I was hopeing for. It had a big tomato flavor to it. I added the whole packet of taco seasoning and more cumin to get a more taco flavor but it didn't work. I don't know if beef broth along with some tomato juice would help or not. The cheese, chips and sour cream on top was a big plus. I may try again but with definate changes.

Dee-lish, super simple and quicker than chili. My tweaks: Needed entire packet of taco seasoning and added a can of black beans. Topped with crushed tortilla chips, cheddar cheese, sour cream and green onions.

Very good recipe, thank you. I cut this recipe in half and served with Golden Sweet Cornbread from this site and got rave reviews from my husband. I will make this again, great for a crowd if you want to make it as is or double it. I also added some chopped zucchini so it had something green in it.

This recipie has always been a hit for me whenever I try it. The best thing is that it tastes even better the second or third day-- if there's any left!

I got this recipe from my exboyfriend, and I was worried I'd never find it again! It's almsost identical to this one, except without the onion or the beans. I absolutely love this soup! we put tortillas in the bowl, ladle soup over them, put cheese and sour cream on top of that. HEAVENLY! Thanks becca, for helping me rediscover one of my favorite foods!

Except for leaving out the onions, which I always do, I made this as is. I expected it to be more spicy, but once I realized it wasn't going to be, I took it for what it was and thought it was pretty good. It's a good chili substitute for those who don't like things overly spicy. (I do wonder about *renaming* it though. :-)) I didn't find it particularly filling.

This was excellent. I did reduce the tomato juice by a little bit (probably about 3 1/2 cups instead of 4) and added diced green chiles as someone else suggesed. Add a little cheese and some fat free sour cream and it's a quick, healthy dinner that's low in WW points.

I have made this recipe for years but a little different. We brown the meat with onions..drain. Then to a pot add the meat, 2 can of red kid beans, 2 small cans of tomato sauce, 1 can (use kid bean can) of water, and 1 pk of Taco Seasoning. Then after bringing to a boil and simmering for 15 minutes it is done. Add soup to a bowl then top with Frito corn chips, cheese, and sour cream. My DH is military and when he was in Korea he made this and EVERYONE loved it. My kids love it also and want it every night!

I would call this a chili rather than a taco soup, but it is very good. A great soup to slowly cook and enjoy on a cold day.

I used chili beans instead of kidney and also added a can of northen beans. I too added a dash of cumin as well as a chopped green bell pepper. The funny thing is, although this recipe has almost completely different ingrediants, the taste was similar to a chili recipe I have always owned/used. So yes, this is a good soup, but since it tasted so much like one I have always made...thus, I was not pleasantly surprised. IT IS STILL A GOOD SOUP but it tastes so much like one I already own. To others: this recipe is so easy, it's worth a try and very adjustable to your tastes. Thanks Becca!
