Taco Soup

1 14.5 oz can corn
1 28 oz can diced tomatoes, including liquid
1 14 oz. can black beans, drained and rinsed, or 2 cups cooked black beans

2 cups chicken stock, or 2 cups water plus 2 tsp chicken bullion

taco seasoning to taste
1 tsp dried onions

Optional toppings:

cheddar cheese

black olives

sour cream

tortilla chips

chives for garnish

Heat all ingredients through.

Serve by itself, or if you have it, top with cheddar cheese, black olives, sour cream, and tortilla chips. In place of tortilla chips, you can use homemade or store bought tortillas cut into strips.

Notes:

I buy the taco seasoning in bulk from Sam's Club. The black olives are $1.06 a can at Sam's Club. I also get the dried onions, cheese, and chips there. The chives come from my garden.

I buy the bullion from Walmart. They have a large container of Knorr chicken bullion (it's a powder that you can just measure out) for just under $5.
