Taco Soup

Tired, hungry and on the go? Here is an easy dinner for tonight.



1 lb. hamburger
1/2 c. onion
1 can tomato soup (condensed)
1 can cream of mushroom soup (condensed)
10 oz. beef broth
1 can kidney beans
Tortilla strips or corn chips crumbled
Cheese
Sour Cream



Brown hamburger and chopped up onion. Add next three ingredients. When liquids are nice and hot. Add the can of kidney beans and heat thoroughly. Serve with crushed corn chips, cheese and a dollop of sour cream.



For years, I have carefully drained and rinsed all beans I use out of can. Recently, I read a recipe where the instructions read, "Add can of beans with juice." I tried it and I liked it. The extra starch from the bean juice adds a nice texture to the soup base.
