Ahhh my post deleted the rest of my instructions.... CONT........... Brown beef and onion and drain. Add taco and HVR seasoning. Put the browned beef in a pot and add the tomatoes & beans. Mix everything together and cook on low... the longer it's simmered the better *** I highly reccomend putting it in a crock pot and slow cooking. make the meat mixture, put it in the crock pot, add everything else... mix, and slow cook 8-10 hours. I would make it Friday night, and cook overnight so I could eat it all weekend LOL - I often use 2 cans of Rotels instead of a can of diced tomatoes. I find the original recipe wasn't spicy enough so I use 2 cans of HOT rotels. However make it as spicy as you want. I also normally add a can or water to make it a little less chili like, and more soupy.

i have fibro too.. so my excercise is limited. i swim 3-4x weekly (just started recently) and today i rode a bike ( a real one, not a gym one) for the first time in 10 years. i was blessed that i was a light weight to begin with, but the fibro makes excercise so hard to do. being in pain for 2 weeks after working out too hard is no motivation either. good luck with it. miranda

Do you have any idea about serving size / nutrition info on this? It sounds so good and I really do want to try it but I am trying very hard to keep track of what I am consuming (prot, cal, etc). Thanks for all of the great recipes. You really should put together a cookbook. Even if it's just in an electronic form you could really make out. I'd buy it!

Darlene, yummy sounding recipe! Thanks for sharing. Just one question, do you drain the can goods or just dump all of them in???? Barbara

I LOVE this soup and eat it all the time. I make it with ground turkey, two cans of diced tomatoes, plus the can of rotel and 2 packets of the taco seasoning. I drain and rinse the beans only. It makes about 15 cups of soup. Without the calories for the HVR packet, I got the following nutrional information when I plugged it into a recipe calculator: serving size = 1 cup (for regular ppl, not us right now) calories: 252 Total fat: 7 g sat fat: 2 g Cholesterol: 48 mg Sodium: 777mg Total Carb: 33g Fiber: 8 g Sugars: 4 g Protein: 18 g Vit A: 10% Vit C: 28% Calcium: 7% Iron: 20% 49% Carbs 23% Fats 28% Protein
