Really, really good stuff!!! I substituted corn for the hominy and more kidney beans for the lima beans. I also added chopped fresh cilantro and sliced avocado on top - extremely tasty! The whole family liked this dinner so I will absolutely be making it again.
Seriously this is my favorite food. Ever. My mom always made it when I was little during the winter. I just made it again and the best thing with this recipe: use your favorites! I put corn in it instead of lima beans and I used jalapeños instead of chili peppers. I also made my own taco seasoning from a recipe on here (I think taco seasoning I) instead of the store package (I'm really big on my food being organic). I didn't add the ranch package either. Making my own seasoning made this even better than I could imagine! I love it with cheese and sour cream. Mmm it's my guilty pleasure. And since there's only 2 of us here this is enough for me to have dinner for a week or so it's so good I don't mind eating it for days on end!! My boyfriend who hates beans even loves it!:)
Add a dollop of sour cream for the kids to tone down the spices. I used Mexican stewed tomatoes butter beans and substituted frozen corn for the hominy. Serve with corn chips (and guacamole). Fresh cilantro is wonderful and really compliments this soup.
I adjusted this recipe to suit our favorite ingredients and to make it a little lower in salt. I did not add the additional salt I used three cans of organic black beans that I rinsed and drained instead of pinto-lima-kidney beans. I made my own taco seasoning mix and ranch dressing mix (sans salt) and instead of water I used a low sodium beef broth. When I got all the ingredients mixed the soup looked a bit thin to me so I threw in two 14 oz. cans tomato sauce and two cans drained and rinsed white corn. This was nice to come home to after a long afternoon and we enjoyed it. I'll make this again with my changes.
This is AMAZING! I used shredded chicken instead of ground beef. (i'm not really a fan of ground beef so i think it made it better than it would have been otherwise) I also found that there wasnt quite enough liquid so i doubled the water amount and therefore put in twice the amound of taco seasoning and ranch dressing mix. I also added a can of corn. It was fabulous! My husband loved it!
Terrific & easy. I added a can of beef broth and some chopped carrot celery and shredded cabbage for more vegies. Skipped the hominy as hubby doesn't care for it.
This was FANTASTIC!...and healthy! I only used about a 3/4 lb of lean ground beef. I can't imagine using 2 lbs I think it would be way too chunky to be considered soup. I left out the Lima beans and hominey but added a can of corn instead. Topped it with a sprinkle of cheddar light sour cream fresh lime juice avacado and several tortilla chips. I thought the idea of ranch dressing mix was rather strange but the taste of this soup was really impressive. Healthy and rather inexpensive meal!
Quick tasty and super easy! I used 1 lb each of ground beef and ground turkey. Also 2 cans petite-diced garlic tomatoes and no lima beans (added a little extra white hominy to make up for it). I decreased pepper to 1/2 tsp. and added a little extra water to make it soupier. I salted to taste (salty already because of the seasonings-did not need anywhere near a teaspoon). Served with dollop of sour cream cheddar cheese and cilantro. Thank you!
Excellent recipe. Even my husband loved it. I followed the recipe except used mexican corn instead of hominy and used 2 cups of water. This will be a regular in our house.
