Personal Notes:
This family-friendly recipe is made with ordinary staples you can stock in your pantry for a fast and delicious and nutritious meal that you can prepare for your family any night of the week. You can even have meat browned and sauteed onions and garlic cooked and in your refrigerator ready to "dump" into the pot.

The optional toppings can allow each individual to have their taco soup the way they like it best.

The smell of this soup simmering on the stove (or on low in your slow cooker) is a welcome invitation for family to come to the table.
