I'm not sure what Taco soup recipe you mean, but I use one from a cookbook that comes with Richard Simmon's foodmover. It is quite simple and yummy.
1 lb. ground turkey (low-fat)
1 packet taco seasoning (reduced sodium)
1 packet ranch dressing seasoning
1 can stewed tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes with chilies
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 cup water, broth, or lite beer
(1 cup frozen corn
1 can white beans)
Brown meat, drain fat, add seasonings, then the rest of the ingredients and let simmer.
It is a bit salty for my tastes, but otherwise very yummy and thick.
By Richard's standards (kinda like the diabetic exchanges) 1 1/2 cups is worth 2 carb portions, 2 protein, and 1 vegetable.
I omit the last two ingredients and save one carb serving for a snack of graham crackers before bed!
Hope this helps!
