I love this recipe! I can clear shelves in my pantry, substitute different beans, add fresh tomatoes or a different color of bell pepper. Make this Taco Soup as hot or as mild as your family likes! You can even substitute ground or chopped chicken and chicken stock for the ground beef and beef stock, or leave out the meat, and add more vegetables and vegetable stock for a vegetarian option! You can even make this in the slow cooker....after step one, put everything in the slow cooker, set the timer for 7-9 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high and you are ready to go!
