taco soup (crock pot recipe).

i love crock pots. you throw a bunch of stuff in, turn in on all day and when you come home all you have to do is dish it up and eat!

for my taco soup, i use the following ingredients:

• 20 oz 99% lean ground turkey breast
• 15 oz can black beans
• 15 oz can pinto beans
• 15 oz can diced tomatoes
• (2) 4.5 oz cans diced chiles
• 1 red onion, diced
• 12 oz bag frozen corn
• 12 oz jar of chunky salsa
• packet of taco seasoning
• tomato juice (about 1 cup.. just enough to make it “soupy”)
• avocado, cheese & greek yogurt (or sour cream) for garnish

here are the ever-so-complicated directions:

1. dice your onion and put it in the pot:

2. put the ground turkey in the pot:

3. empty the taco seasoning packet into the pot:

4. mix:

5. add your diced chiles:

10: mix:

11. set on low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours:

12. when you get home, if it is not soupy enough, add some organic tomato juice.

13. scoop some soup into a bowl, garnish with avocado, greek yogurt & cheese.

14. eat!
