Crockpot Taco Soup

For some reason this is the time of the year where I want to pull out the slow cooker and try new recipes. Today's experiment was "Taco Soup" and it was fantastic AND healthy! (Imagine that!) Also, only took about 5-10 minutes to prepare! (My kind of meal!) I found several recipes on the internet and just put the ideas together to my liking. Enjoy!

Crockpot Taco Soup

Ingredients:
-1 lb ground turkey (you could also use ground chicken or extra lean ground beef)
-1 15 oz can pinto beans
-1 15 oz can white beans (I think you could use 30 oz of any kind of bean)
-1 can of corn
-1 11 oz can of Rotel with chiles (this gave this soup some zest!)
-1 envelope taco seasoning
-1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix

Optional (to put on after it's cooked):
-Chopped jalapenos
-Light Sour Cream
-Light Cheese
-Baked tostitos

1) Brown turkey, drain, put in crock pot.
2) Put all other ingredients in the crock pot and stir well. Cook on high for 2 hours or low for 4 hours.
3) Sprinkle on optional items as you wish and enjoy!
