Better than good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I have had a 'Taco soup' recipe for years, which I have misplaced; I remembered seeing a taco soup recipe on the Food... Network, how could any one go wrong w/a Paula Deen recipe? I make my taco soup often during the cool months. I have never made it w/dry Ranch dressing, however, I used it this time; I did not use all of the tomatoes called for, but, used RoTel tomatoes; & i did not use any of the olives. I thought it was really good and will use this recipe often. I have saved it to 'My Recipes'; from now on it will be handy! Read more

AMAZINGLY GREAT!!!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Honestly, I read all these reviews after I made this amazing "soup". I will agree that it is more like a chilli, but it is... so tasty. I didn't have the ranch dressing mix, but I had ranch veggie dip. I used that as my sour cream and ranch flavoring all in one. Other than that, the only changes I made were no olives (don't like olives), one can of pinto and one can of black beans. I also didn't have the green chilies and it was fine without them!Read more
