This was great and super easy to make. I substituted ground turkey for the ground beef and tomato sauce for the juice. I also added in some corn and crushed red pepper. It was delicious!

The was a perfect dinner for the Christmas season. I was looking to save money and calories on weekday meals so I cooked a pot of dried black beans. Half I ate with rice, the other half I used for this dish. I omitted the meat for a vegetarian dish. It was delicious!

This was a great basic taco soup recipe! I didn't have any tomato juice so I used some organic beef broth that I had left over and it added a great flavor to the soup. I also added in some whole wheat elbow noodles at the end to make it a heartier meal and to go further.

I made this for my husband because I knew that he would like it and I knew he liked it when I heard him yell "I love Taco Soup!" from his our home office. :) I give it a 5+ for being easy, and something my kids could help make. I used V8 Spicy and only one packet of taco seasoning because that is what I had and I would do that again. Next time I will add 1 additional can of beans and corn.

Great base for an easy Taco Soup. I just added a small chopped onion to the hamburger and used frozen corn (out of can). Topped it with fritos, sour cream and cheese - thought it was very good. There are a ton of things could add to mix it up! Great chili alternative.

This is very similar to a version of Taco Soup that I make quite often. I usually substitute one 15 ounce can of Mexican stewed tomatoes for the larger can of crushed tomatoes, and use only one packet of taco seasoning. This is excellent garnished with tortilla chips, sour cream, cheese, and green onion!

My family loves this. I substituted regular tomato juice, pintos for the kidney beans, and rotel for the diced tomatos. Yummy!

This recipe is great and simple. I used left over taco meat and used tomato sauce instead of the juice and also fresh tomatoes instead of canned. I didn't have red kidney beans so I substituted with white. I also added 1 tsp. of chili powder and 1/2 tsp. of cumin and 1/2 tsp of paprika. It was so yummy and easy!

I used 2 lb ground beef, halved the spices and added a chopped onion to the meat while it was browning. Delish with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on top. Everyone asked me for the recipe.

Really enjoyed this recipe, I will use 2 cans of black beans next time though and probably add a little taco sauce to make it taste more like taco soup than chili.

One of our new favorites. Only change I made was to use mexicorn instead of tomatoes (not a favorite in our house) and used low sodium V8 and only 1 package of reduced sodium taco seasoning. Top with a little mexicheese and some cornbread on the side.

I followed the recipe exactly. The tomato flavor overpowered the soup. It was disppointing, and I wouldn't make again.

Delish, quick, and satisfying! I made this for my boyrfiend, roomate, and her boyfriend, and we still had tons of leftovers-- which were also really good! We crunched up some tortilla chips on top, and if I had sour cream and cheddar on hand, would have added those as well. Thanks!

I, too, used tomato sauce, but kept everything else the same in the recipe. The whole family loved it and my husband asked me to make it again and again!

My family LOVED this soup. I made it today planning to freeze it for lunch boxes next week. My sons found it and we ended up having it for dinner tonight. I cannot get the V-8 juice here, so I just used tomato paste and water. Also, I always make my own taco seasoning, so I just dumped in some of that to taste. Very versatile and forgiving recipe! I also added one more can of black beans because my kids like them. Five of us ate big helpings tonight and there is enough for 3 thermoses for lunches on Sunday!!! Katy

Outstanding and so easy! I use just one package of seasoning as we didn't like it quite so spicy. My suggestion would be to add one packet of taco seasoning and then taste it. ETA: This is a regular at our house and it is great with chicken too!
