Taco Soup

1 package ground turkey (they come in 1.25 lb packages...but cook down to a pound)
1 package ranch dressing mix
1 package taco seasoning
1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes (with jalapenos if you like)
1 14.5 oz can pinto beans (with jalapenos)
1 can of original rotel
1 20 oz can of white hominey, not drained (found in the hispanic food section)
4 cups of water
4 chicken bouillion cubes


Cook turkey, drain. Add all other ingredients, stir and simmer for as long as you have until dinner (I try to get at least 30 min in), stirring occassionally. Serve with tortilla chips, cheese, and sour cream.

You can make this hotter or more mild as you prefer. The more ranch dressing mix you add, the more mild it gets. Also, the sour cream is good to cut some of the spice.

FYI: Hominey is fermented corn, not as sweet, and slightly more meaty than corn. It is great in soup...it really holds up and adds a different texture.
