Title: Easy Taco Soup
Categories: Soup Stew
Yield: 6 Servings

1	lb	Ground beef; extra lean, (or
		; ground turkey)
1/2	c	Chopped onion
1 1/4	oz	Pkg. taco seasoning mix
5	c	Tomato juice

Toppings: low fat sour cream shredded lettuce chopped green onions chopped tomatoes Low Fat Cheddar Cheese, Shredded tortilla chips -- preferably baked

Cook ground beef and onion over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until beef is no longer pink; about 6-10 minutes. Drain off any fat. (I have my students dump it into a colander then back into the pan because they can't drain it effectively otherwise) Stir in seasoning mix and continue cooking for 1 minute. Stir in tomato juice. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally until heated through -- about 5 minutes. To serve, ladle soup into bowls. Each individual can then add additional toppings.

NOTES : * May substitute 1 teaspoon onion paste for the chopped onion, if desired. This comes in a tube like anchovy paste, is really quick to use and eliminates the need to have students chopping with sharp knives. Posted to MM-Recipes Digest V4 #2
