Momma Jordan’s Taco Soup: A Comfort Food Classic

If you're looking for a hearty, flavorful soup that’s perfect for cozy nights or casual get-togethers, Momma Jordan’s Taco Soup is just what you need this fall! This easy-to-make soup is loaded with seasoned ground beef, beans, veggies, and a blend of taco and ranch flavors. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without Piedmont Pennies cheese crackers for dipping or Penny Panko for that extra crunch on top. Trust us, this is the kind of recipe that will have everyone coming back for seconds!

Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef (or ground turkey), browned
• 1 white onion, chopped
• 3 cans chili beans (Mexican style)
• 1 can corn
• 1 can chopped tomatoes
• 1 can tomato sauce
• 1 cup water
• 1 can chopped green chilis
• 1 package taco seasoning mix
• 1 package ranch dressing mix
• 1 cup Piedmont Pennies cheese crackers (for dipping)
• Optional toppings: Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt, scallions, shredded cheddar cheese. We also love sprinkling Penny Panko on top!

Instructions:

1. Brown the Meat: In a large pot, brown your ground beef (or turkey) over medium heat. Once cooked, drain off any excess fat.
2. Add the Rest: Stir in the chopped onion, chili beans, corn, chopped tomatoes, tomato sauce, water, green chilis, taco seasoning, and ranch dressing mix. Give it a good stir to combine all the ingredients.
3. Bring to a Boil: Turn up the heat and bring the soup to a boil.
4. Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 60 minutes. This will give all the flavors time to meld together and make your house smell amazing!
5. Serve & Top: Ladle the soup into bowls and top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, scallions, and a sprinkle of shredded cheddar if you like.
6. Don’t Forget the Crunch: Serve with Piedmont Pennies cheese crackers for dipping or top the soup with Penny Panko for an extra crunchy twist.
