TACO SOUP (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef and onions in a large skillet; drain off excess fat and transfer browned beef and onions to a large slow cooker or stockpot.
• Add the beans, corn, tomatoes (I like to mash all of the tomato products before I put them in the stockpot--sometimes there are very large chunks of tomatoes, especially in the stewed tomatoes), green chilies, black olives, green olives, taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix.
• Simmer over low heat for about 1 hour (or 6-8 hours on low setting in crock pot).
• To serve, place a few corn chips in each bowl and ladle soup over them.
• Top with sour cream, cheese, green onions and jalapeños.
