I’m a fan of taco soup and my family is a fan of taco soup. I’ve made a wide variety and fiddled with ingredients. Some I’ve liked better than others, some my family has liked better than others.
But we all loved this version. And if you are looking for a quick healthy version of taco soup, this one’s it! Ground turkey can reduce the fat content that is normally higher when using ground beef. Overall, it’s a keeper!

I love Taco soup also. I put the same ingredients in mine as yours except, I use hominey instead of corn. And I us a package of ranch dressing mix. I also use some Rotel type of tomatoes along with the other tomatoes. Unfortunately, I’m the only one who likes it in my household. I really need to make some and can it, but I’m not sure exactly how to do it.

I made your taco casserole and it ended up being like a taco soup. It was very thick and filling, wonderful! Your taco casserole is one of my favorite dishes.
