Quick and Easy Taco Soup


January is always a time of year that I get distracted by home projects.  What is it about starting a new year that puts a fire under me to get things done... Do you do this?  Well, unfortunately many times I get into project mode and dinner seems to be the first thing I forget to think about...Well, that is why this is the perfect recipe for my January or any busy time of year.  Taco Soup... I love this soup! It's so easy, makes plenty in a pinch or throw it all in the crock pot and let it simmer all day long. So here's how it goes.
