Taco Soup

My family loves this soup..it will warm you on a cold day. Received this recipe from a friend although I changed it a bit.

• 1 lb lean ground beef
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped. I omitted the onions because we happen not to like onions:)
• 1 cup celery, finely chopped
• Fry beef, onion, and celery together until beef is browned and onion and celery are cooked.
• Add:
• 1 398 ml (14 oz) can tomato sauce
• 1 341 ml (12 oz) canned corn, with liquid
• 1 398 ml can of kidney beans, drained
• 1/3 cup salsa
• 1 tablespoon chili powder..I use Mexican chili powder when I can find it in the store
• 3 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 3 cups water

1. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
2. This soup is fairly thick so add a little more water if you desire. Recipe can easily be doubled or tripled..I didn't but should have:)
3. Add taco chips, shredded cheese and sour cream to your individual soup bowls.
