Taco Soup

This makes for a great weeknight meal!
It is very easy to make and fast.
I also love the option of making it two hours ahead,
that is very nice if you have a busy afternoon or evening.
It is also REALLY GOOD and filling!
Especially when topped with sour cream, cheese, and tortilla chips.
