Every now and then I crave a good meal from my childhood. This past week I was full-out craving Taco Soup. Let me tell a quick story about Taco Soup. I thought my momma had invented it, that it was original to her. When one of my friend’s mums made it I asked if they had gotten the recipe from my momma. I was positively convinced that my mum was the goddess of Taco Soup. Anyways, I was very happy to make it the other day and thoroughly enjoyed all of my flashbacks!
Here’s the recipe:
1 lb ground beef
1 pkg or 1/4 cup taco seasoning
48 oz tomato juice
12-14 oz can of kernel corn
16-20 oz can kidney beans, rinsed
Brown beef and add taco seasoning. Throw in the tomato juice, corn and beans. Bring to a simmer.
Serve over crushed corn chips and garnish, as desired, with cheddar cheese and sour cream.
As my mum wrote, “Yum. Dinner in 10 minutes or less depending on how fast you can open cans!!!”
What’s your favourite childhood/comfort food? (This post reminds me slightly of Ratatouille)
