Let's All Post How We Make Taco Soup

So,
I was making taco soup yesterday. And I was thinking about how my recipe has evolved. And then I started looking at other people's recipes. And then I remembered that pretty much everyone has a different taco soup recipe.

So, I thought we could all edit this post and put our versions of taco soup. What do you think?

Here is my most recent version.

Danielle's Taco Soup Version (I hope this is everything...I am typing this off the top of my head)

brown 1 lb of hamburger and shake some onion/garlic/whatever on it
Add:
1 can tomatoe/chilis (ground up in my magic bullet-Hailey does NOT like chunks)
1 can diced or stewed or whatever tomatoes (used to do 2 cans of the tomato/chili but that was too hot for Hailey-also ground in my magic bullet)
1 can corn drained (I know sister, not your favorite)
1 can tomato sauce
about a 1/4 cup taco seasoning
packet of ranch dressing (this is new for me-not sure if it will last)
I have been cooking my own beans, so I use black beans and kidney beans that I have cooked but a can of each is fine too!

Embellish with chips, sour cream and cheese

the end.


Anna's Version:
Which is pretty much Danielle's version, but that is ok (?)

Taco Soup:
Brown 1lb of hamburger, drain and add salt, pepper, garlic and onion (it should taste good if you eat a little bit of it) 
Then add the following:
2 cans (14 oz) kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
2 cans (14 oz) black beans (drained and rinsed)
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
2 can Rotel (or 2 cans of Mexican stewed tomatoes, if you do Mexican stewed tomatoes it is milder.  If you choose to use Mexican stewed tomatoes and you still want it spicy, add a can of green chilies and some extra chili powder or cayenne pepper)
1 package of taco seasoning
1 can of corn (if you want, I think that is gross)
1 can green chiliesadd enough water to make it look like soup.

boil it together so the flavor goes through the whole thing.  taste it (if you want it hotter add more chili powder or cayenne), serve over tortilla chips with cheese and sour cream

This freezes really well!
