Freezer Meal Friday: Taco Soup

I am not a big soup fan.  In fact, the soup meal from each month's Freezer Meal Swap tends to be the last thing we eat each month and sometimes gets pushed to the following month!  This month's soup was an exception because it was tasty!  And very simple to make!  Definitely an easy recipe to throw together quickly, with ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard!

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1 can stewed tomatoes (15oz)
1 can tomato soup (10 oz)
1 can vegetable soup (10 oz)
1 can corn, drained (15 oz)
1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed (15oz)
3/4 cup salsa
1 cup water
2 Tbsp. taco seasoning
2 Tbsp. chili powder

Instructions - Eat Tonight:
Mix it all together!  Cook on the stove until it is heated through!  Add shredded cheese, sour cream, and/or tortilla chips.  My husband likes a little zing to his so he also added some tabasco sauce.

Instructions - Freeze for Later:
Mix it all together!  Pour into freezer bags and freeze!  If you are bringing it to a swap, be sure to freeze a small baggie of cheese as well.  Sour cream goes great with this as well but do not freeze sour cream!!

This recipe is adapted from Girlfriends on the Go - A Busy Mom's Guide to Make-Ahead Meals.  This cookbook has a lot of simple recipes with simple ingredients.  And it gives freezer directions for all of its recipes!!
