Taco Soup (Phase 1)

1 can each of rinsed Red Beans, Black Beans, Pinto Beans & Kernal Corn. 1 packet of Ranch Dressing mix 1 lb ground beef (or Boca or Tofu for phase 1) 1 can Rotel Tomatoes 1 can low sodium Diced Tomatoes 2 cans water Season to taste with Chili powder, Cumin & Garlic powder Garnish with a little chopped cilantro. Now the Ranch Dressing is a conscience call. I figure one packet divided by 8 servings or more isn't bad. Especially not when Dr. Ian himself in the book allows for a little sugar in one recipe and 4 Tbsp parmesan cheese in another of his Phase 1 recipes. If you don't want it...leave it out. But for me, it kind of satiates my desire for a little sour cream in this recipe. Up to you. I LOVE this recipe and have it ready for my repeat of Phase 1 tomorrow. < Prev   Next >
