Black Bean soup

Gigi's Dazzling Black Bean Soup

This is one of my absolute favorite recipes, first because it is superdelish and always a crowd pleaser, and second, because its pretty much the easiest thing on earth!

1 pound of ground turkey (you can use beef if you eat red meat, or nix the meat for vegetarians and maybe add barley for texture)

5 cans of diced tomatoes

2 cans of black beans

2 cans of kidney beans

1 can of corn

1 tbs black pepper

2 packets taco seasoning

2 packets of ranch seasoning

1 tbs chili powder

1 can green chilis

1 tbs cumin

First, brown the turkey by itself.In the meantime, in a slowcooker add all of the ingredients.Add the turkey when it is done and set your timer.If you don't use a slow cooker, I'd let this simmer for 45minutes or so, so that the flavors marry and Viola! A fabulous dinner awaits :)

This also freezes beautifully.
