Taco Soup Recipe

This is absolutely the best recipe for Taco Soup.
Found it online and made a big pot last week. Left it on the stove to have after snow sledding.
To go with it, the recipe called for a side of cornbread. Of course, when the big black iron skillet of cornbread came out of the oven, everyone smiled. As we sat together and enjoyed this meal, I have to say, it was totally tops as "comfort food."
Hearty and delicious leaving everyone requesting this recipe. No doubt, the hot crunchy crust of the cornbread was perfect food pairing.

I used plain stewed tomatoes, not the Mexican style.

Your recipe for Taco Soup looks so good. Decided to add a little to make it mine and it was WONDERFUL.

Add to this recipe
1 c. chicken broth (plus the 2 c water)
1/2 t. cumin
3 cans of Rotel Tomatoes (mild and leave out the stewed tomatoes)
1/2 c. clintro

To plain cornbread:

YUM. Feeding two men, none was left.
