We have been on a mission to find good taco soup

Partially because it's easy... partially because it's delicious. :) Thanks to those of you who shared your recipes! We will certainly be trying them in the future! This recipe was found on Karen's blog and is usually a slow cooker recipe but we wanted it fast, so we tweaked it a bit and it was still super good!
