Why this recipe works

Think of taco soup as you’d think of chili, but with the addition of corn, green chiles, and different seasonings. It’s hearty, comforting, and will warm you up during a cold fall or winter day.

Dip in some tortilla chips for the full experience, or even top it with tortilla strips! Heck, you could even add sliced jalapenos if spice is what you’re looking for.
