Taco Soup

We had many traditions growing up in my family - my parents, one older sister and one older brother - yes, that makes me the baby of the family! One tradition was Christmas Eve supper. We always had Oyster Stew (ick - my Dad liked it so we made it) and another soup the rest of us would eat.

This year I made Taco Soup with my husband, daughter and son in law. The easy part was it was a freezer meal!

Another family Christmas tradition - after our meal, EVERYTHING must be cleaned up, then we opened presents from each other one at a time. The youngest picks the first present, whoever it goes to, opens it and picks the next present and so on.. Sound time consuming? Maybe, however, it's lots of fun to see who gets what from whom and not a jumbled mess. :)

1 lb ground turkey
1/2 small onion, chopped
1/4 cup taco seasoning
2 cups frozen corn
1 can (16 oz) black bean - drained and rinsed
2 cans (14 oz) diced tomatoes
1 can (8 oz) tomato sauce
1 can (4 oz) diced green chili's (I use hot)
Gallon size freezer bag

Brown turkey and onion - rinse and drain. Cool and add to freezer bag. Add remaining ingredients, mix, remove as much air as possible and freeze.

I double or triple so I have more meals in the freezer.

Remove from freezer and thaw in fridge. Cook in crock pot on low all day or on stove top til hot - about 30 minutes.

Serve with shredded cheese, sour cream and tortilla's.

Enjoy!
