Roast Beef Taco Soup

My husband and I are working on making our daily diets healthier. I am constantly on the lookout for recipes for new meal ideas. I like to cook but I hate thinking of what to cook and when I ask my family what they would like to eat I get the same answer almost every time....food. Really? No kidding...

Windell (my sweet hubby) and I are also using the Lose It  app to keep track of our calorie intake and exercise. It's very user friendly and it allows you to create recipes so you can figure the calories in your favorite meals. It really makes you aware of what you are eating and the size of your portions. If these things are important to you I highly recommend it.

Today's recipe is simple, quick, low-cal & most importantly YUMMY! 


Roast Beef Taco Soup


10 ounces of leftover roast beef
1 can of Rotel (I used mild but you can use original or hot if you like it spicy)
1 lg can of chili beans (I used bush's in mild sauce)
1 can of whole kernel corn
1/2 pkg of dry ranch dressing mix
1/2 pkg of chili seasoning (I like Williams Original)
A few shakes of dried minced onion
Add water to the consistency you like, mine was thicker like chili would be.

Heat through & serve with shredded cheese. My family also likes to eat this with Fritos or tortilla chips. Makes approx 10 cups.

Calories 140 per cup of just the soup

I have made this in the past with ground beef or ground venison as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did today!
