Delicious recipe; I made it vegetarian! Eliminate the beef and add an extra can of beans (drained). I used black beans.

I add the corn, pinto beans and 2 cans of white hominy, I make it for my Doctor, and he loves the hominy.And I agree with one cook, it gets better the next day.The toppings in the recipe make this soup sooooo much better.

Thanks for the recipe.

I double this recipe and use one whole packet of taco seasoning and one whole packet of ranch dressing mix. It's better the second day when the seasonings have blended well.
