Chicken Taco Soup

Fall is almost here!  I love when the air turns crisp.  It is perfect for soups!

Taco soup is my favorite go-to soup.  My garden is producing a lot of fresh goodness.  I used some of the abundance to make this soup.  It made it so much better!  I am loving the fresh produce!  It was perfect for a rainy day.



Ingredients
4 ears of corn, cut off the cob (or 1 can of corn)
3 large tomatoes, diced (or 1 can diced tomatoes)
6-8 green onions, diced
1 pound chicken, cooked and shredded
1 can olives
1 can black beans
1 packet taco seasoning
1 can chicken broth
1 can tomato sauce
cheese
sour cream

Directions
Add all ingredients into a large pot.  Mix well.  Bring to boil and then simmer for 25-30 minutes, making sure all ingredients are cooked.  You can saute the onions before adding the rest of the ingredients if you like.  I didn't because I needed a quick meal.

Add cheese and sour cream to top it off.  I didn't have any sour cream on hand, so I used plain Greek yogurt and it still tasted delicious.

  2. Yes. I usually drain and rinse them before adding them to the soup.
