JoLeene's Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
3 cups hot water
1 (32 oz) can stewed tomatoes, undrained
2 cans (16 oz each) dark red kidney beans, undrained
1 envelope Taco Seasoning Mix
2 cans (8 oz each) tomato sauce
1 cup frozen whole kernel corn

Brown the ground beef and drain the fat. Add the onion, garlic and cook until tender.
Add 3 cups hot water, the stewed tomatoes, dark red kidney beans, Taco Seasoning Mix, tomato sauce and frozen whole kernel corn.

Let all this mixture get to a very strong boiling point. reduce the heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes.

I always add some chopped fresh cilantro when soup is ready.

Serve with Doritos or Fritos, shredded Cheddar Cheese, avocado cubes and sour cream.
