Back when I was "Beachin'" this was probably one of my favorite recipes. Very easy to make and such a nice change from a piece of meat and veggies. This is Phase 1 appropriate, and tastes very good topped with shredded 2% cheddar, a dollop of plain yogurt, and avocado slices. Even non-dieters will enjoy this thick and hearty soup. NOTE: To stay true to South Beach be sure and buy canned kidney beans with no added sugar and taco seasoning that is South Beach approved. I used Old El Paso.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 lb extra lean ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 1/2 cups water

2 tablespoons taco seasoning
2% cheddar cheese, shredded (optional)
plain yogurt (optional)
avocado, slices (optional)

Loved this. I doubled the recipe so I would have some to put in the freezer for lunches. Followed the recipe exactly as written other then I didn't measure out the taco seasoning, I used a whole packet. The only thing I would do different next time is to cut back on the water just a bit, maybe about half a cup.

I didn't change a thing. My family loved it. I used Penzey's brand Bold taco seasoning, which is more complex than the store bought brands. Excellent recipe.

Love this recipe!!! The only thing I added was a pinch of Cayenne Pepper to give it a little kick! I suggest you try it, you won't be disappointed! Also try adding it to your salad like Wendy's Restaurant "Taco Supremo" (lettuce/salsa sauce/sour cream/taco soup/gratted cheddar cheeze - mix and enjoy!)
