1 (11 oz) can whole kernel corn, drained                  1 (4 oz) can chopped Chile peppers

Add the beans, corn, green chilies, tomatoes, taco seasoning, Ranch dressing and thoroughly mix and cook in a slow cooker for 6 to 8 hours on low heat or bring to a boil if using a regular stock pot and reduce heat to low and simmer for 1 to 2 hours.

Serve and/or garnish with Corn chips, Sour cream, grated cheese; whatever your choice.

NOTES: This is a compilation of ingredients from various Taco Soup recipes from the Internet and other sources.

I substituted ground venison without any fat added (about 1.5 lbs.) for the ground beef and used chopped jalapenos in the soup instead of the chopped Chile peppers. This recipe is not too far off taste from my Quick Fix Venison Chili Bean Recipe but you definitely get the flavor of Tacos from the Taco seasoning mix.

This Taco soup will definitely get your nose to running and will warm you up on a cold winter day for sure!
