Thank you, thank you, thank you! It looks delicious . . . I'll be trying it in the next couple of days.

My 91 year old dad has moved in with us -- he's a hospice patient with inoperable cancer; probably in his last weeks of life. He's just been here a week, and tempting his appetite is one of the challenges. I'll try this with him.

Lucy, I almost didn't look at this, because someone I work with made taco soup, and there was hunks of wilted lettuce floating in it, looked gross!
This recipe sounds really good!! :P

Thanks for re-posting it Lucy. I made this one a year or so ago and need to make it again. After all, the weather is getting cooler which means it's soup season!

Start slowly . . . then taper off.

Was kind of cool here yesterday, so soup seemed like a good idea. This was wonderful. Everyone here loved it, kids, mom, husband, and me. Served it with a cornbread casserole, guacamole, homemade salsa and chips. It was so easy to make. This will be a family favorite for sure.
Thanks Lucy!

I was just checking to see if your Taco Soup Recipe was here so I could copy and paste it. I promised to make a copy for my neighbor. Now I'm going to have to make it with 3 lbs. of ground chuck. I'll bet the guys will love it with more meat. The recipe in The Hallson Forum Friends Cookbook calls for 1-2 lbs. so I've always used 2 lbs. According to your note, you originally got the recipe here on the forum on 11-28-2001 from "Ladyfingers".
