Directions
Pour each undrained can and jar into a dutch oven or crock pot. Stir in the taco seasoning packet. Heat for 30 minutes in the dutch oven on the stovetop or for several hours in the crock pot. Serve in large soup bowls. Top with a variety of toppings, placing a large dollop of sour cream in the center and sprinkling shredded cheddar cheese, sliced black olives and corn chips over the top. Sprinkle optional cilantro, chives and/or spring onions over the large dollop of sour cream. Serve the tortilla chips on the side.
Mexican four cheese blend can also replace the cheddar cheese for a spicier blend.
If the 'mild' or plain ingredients are chosen, children love this soup. Little fish shaped crackers can replace the corn chips.
Serve with corn bread and cool drinks for a complete meal.
