It just occurred to me that I have not yet
shared with you an easy soup recipe that simmers all day in the slow cooker
while you are busy getting a bunch of things done. So, for today's "Sip
Some Soup Sunday" I'm going to give you the recipe for the soup that I
made on Christmas Day.
There's a bit of a back-story here. On Christmas Day I did
nothing other than cook and clean. This is because my big party is on Boxing
Day, the day after Christmas. Honestly, I don't mind spending Christmas Day on
my own. It's very calming; I can pretty much relax and enjoy myself between
frantic bits of cooking and cleaning. I'll binge watch Christmas movies on
television, always have a nice fire going in the fireplace, and it's become a
bit of a ritual for me over the past number of years. Around about noon I came
to the realization that while I was making all kinds of food for my party the next
day, I hadn’t done anything about feeding myself that day. So, I opened
up the pantry grabbed a wide variety of ingredients, all with a bit of a
Mexican theme, and tossed them into the crockpot while I browned some ground
chuck. As it cooked, the house was filled with the most wonderful spicy aroma,
and by day’s end I dug into a most welcome and fabulous soup. This is an easy
one, and it's really good.
Slow Cooker Christmas Day Taco Soup
1 pound ground chuck, crumbled, browned, and drained
2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
1 medium sweet onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
½ cup Melissa's Fire Roasted Sweet Red Bell Peppers,
chopped
1 15-oz. can black beans, drained
1 15-oz. can corn, drained
1 15-oz. can tomato sauce
1 10-oz. can Rotel tomatoes
1 15-oz. can diced tomatoes
Dump everything into the slow cooker in the order listed and
cook on low for 6-8 hours.
Top with whatever tickles your fancy. I used
scallions, grated cheese, and crumbled Fritos.

You had me at crumbled Fritos. ;) This looks fabulous and I happen to have most of the ingredients. Even though it's forecast to be 85 degrees today (ugh!) soup sounds really good.

This soup looks good! Although as a native Mexican, I would probably top it with salsa and add lots of lime juice :)
