Taco Soup

Ingredients

• 2 cans black beans, drained
• 1 can corn, drained
• 1 can diced tomatoes
• 1 can evaporated milk
• 4 cups chicken broth (low sodium, if possible)
• 1 packet taco seasoning* (or 3.5 Tbsp.)
• 1 packet ranch mix*
• 1/2 cup uncooked rice
• 1 can of chicken (optional) (CostCo's is best)
• Tortilla chips

Directions

1. Put everything except tortilla chips in a pot and let simmr until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
2. Top with tortilla chips and serve.

*If you don't want to use packets, I believe (but have not tried) the following spices will work for the taco and ranch mixes:

• 5 tsp minced onion
• 1.5 tsp parsley
• 1.5 tsp salt
• 1.5 tsp garlic powder
• 2.5 tsp chili powder
• 2 tsp paprika
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 heaping tsp onion powder
• tiny pinch of cayenne
