    Ok so here is how I make mine and its amazing! (I got it years ago from my WW leader)

    -1 lb lean hamburger or turkey
    -3 cans S&W chili beans, not drained (the pinto beans in sauce I beleive)
    -1 pack taco seasoning
    -1 pack ranch dressing mix
    -1 onion
    -1 can ortega green chilis (the 7 oz can)
    -1 can chopped tomatoes, not drained
    -corn optional (I dont add that, but lots of people do)
    -2 cups water

    brown meat, drain and set aside, sweat onion, then add to meat and add both season packets, cook for a min. Then I add the rest and simmer for about 20 mins and BAM! Great Taco Soup!! It makes a whole bunch, great after being frozen as well. I usually eat it alone, but sometimes will crumble a couple tortilla chips for a crunch, and I usually add a dollop pf FF sour cream! Enjoy!

    Made this way for WW it was 2 points for a cup!!

    Here is my recipe, not sure about nutritional information.

    1 lb ground meat
    1 can niblet corn
    1 can tomato soup
    1 can pinto beans
    1 pk taco seasoning.

    I serve mine with Doritos, cheese and sour cream. I guess that isn't to healthy.

    The recipe above serves 2 - 4 people. You can always double or triple this to make for a bunch of people. If you triple it, it fills up a oval crockpot.

    Here's mine, takes about 45 minutes to make:

    1 cup diced onion
    2 cloves diced garlic
    1 can black beans (drained)
    1 can diced tomatos
    1 cup frozen corn
    2 cups chicken stock
    2 tsp chilli powder
    1 tsp cumin
    1/2 tsp cyanne
    1 tsp paprika

    simmer the onions in olive oil on med-low heat until translucent
    add garlic and simmer for 5 more minutes
    add spices and allow to simmer for 5 minutes
    add black beans, allow to simmer covered for 5 minutes
    add tomatoes and simmer
    add chicken stock and allow to simmer for about 10 minutes
    Add frozen corn and let simmer


    The recipe is simple and the point of adding each ingredient in the manner is to build the flavors as they change as they cook and caramelize. This is especially true for the onions and garlic the spices are allowed to permeate the veggies and bring the flavors together.

    Here is my recipe:

    Chicken Taco Soup

    3-4 Frozen Chicken Breasts
    1 envelope ranch dressing mix
    1 envelope taco seasoning
    1 medium onion, diced
    1/2 jar salsa (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
    1 can cannellini beans
    1 can kidney beans
    1 can vegetarian baked beans
    1 can kernel corn
    1 can black beans

    Directions:

    Put everything in crockpot in order listed. Do not rinse or drain beans. Do not stir. Cook on low for 6-8 hours. Take chicken out and shred with two forks. Put chicken back in, stir, and eat. Freezes well.

    Serving Size: 1 cup
    Points: 3 per serving

    Not sure about the specific calories in it though

    I love this one but with some changes. I use black beans (plain) and pinto (plain) -this will cut sodium- I go with the corn and use 1 can crushed toms and one can rotel (toms with green chillies).
    Brown meat and onion, add all cans with all juice included on draining, add water to thickness you desire, mix in taco seasoning and ranch dressing. So yummy
    Can also add lime and avocado for garnish.
