Crock Pot Taco Soup

The time of year is upon us that begs for comfort food. As the temperatures drop we start longing for soups and stews to keep us warm and cozy. 

A slow cooker is perfect for soups and stews in the winter. Some require a little more preparation while others are just dump and go. 

The dump and go recipes are always a favorite as they require so little effort to get a pleasing meal on the table. Soups make a regular appearance on our dinner table during the colder months. It’s economical and easy. You just have to love that. 

And did I mention how much my family goes nuts over anything taco related?  There is always something taco related on the menu! 

Your family will beg you to make this on a regular basis. Normally kernel corn makes an appearance in this soup, but we prefer hominy. 

By all means, if you prefer corn, swap it out and it will be just as tasty.  This is one of the most requested recipes with my family. Hope your family enjoys it to0.
