Collecting Recipes Over Coffee...I hope!

I saw this on Kerri's blog and thought I'd give it a whirl. I love soup! (Okay, I love FOOD, but soup is a handy one-pot meal.) If the link from Kim's http://kimandhercoffee.blogspot.com/blog doesn't work, at least my friends will have a new recipe.

Taco Soup

1/2 c chopped onion

1/2 c chopped celery

Saute together with a little butter.

1 1/2 c ground beef

Add to onions and celery, and cook until brown. Drain fat.

Add:

4 cups canned diced tomatos

1 (8 oz) can tomato sauce

1/2 cup salsa

1 pkg taco seasoning

2 cans undrained kidney beans

1 can undrained whole kernel corn

1-2 cups water

Simmer 1-2 hours, adding water as needed.

Ladle into bowls and top with tortilla chips and grated cheddar cheese.
