If you need a meal in a hurry, this fast recipe fills the bill! When I have time, I like to make "edible bowls" of bread to serve the soup in— it makes for a unique presentation and a hearty main dish!

Tip

No More Tears

To reduce tears while cutting onions, freeze onions for 20 minutes before chopping. Also, use a very sharp knife when chopping onions and chop quickly. You can save both time and tears by chopping many onions at once. Freeze the extras in an airtight container for up to 3 months. (Before sauteing, thaw the onions and pat them dry. Frozen chopped onions can be added directly to soups or casseroles.)

To make this more like a soup ,I used an un-drained can of corn, like wise with the kidney beans. Left out tomato sauce and used stewed tomatoes and put a jar of salsa in. You could add a can of beef broth for more "soupieness". Cheese and sour cream, tortilla chips really add to the flair.

This was pretty good however, I have another recipe for Taco soup that I like better which is why I gave this recipe 4 stars but for timeliness you can't beat how fast this comes together. For Soup it is dry to me. It is more of a chip dip. But that is personal preference.
