Santa Fe Soup

As I watch the snow fall outside, I know some warm soup would be a great choice for dinner. I have heard great comments about Susan DiFatta's Santa Fe Soup and I think I will give it a try. Has anyone make this and what do you think? It is on page 61.

2 lbs. ground turkey or beef
1 onion, chopped
2 (.5-oz) pkg. Ranch-style dressing mix
2 (1 1/4 oz.) pkg taco seasoning mix
1 (16 oz.) can black beans, undrained
1 (16 oz.) can kidney beans, undrained

1 (16 oz.) can diced tomatoes with chilies, undrained
2 (16 oz.) can tomato wedges or diced tomatoes, undrained
2 (16 oz.) cans white corn, undrained
2 c. water
Tortilla chips

Cook meat and onion together until meat is browned. Drain off fat. Stir Ranch-style dressing mix and taco seasoning mix into meat. Add remaining ingredients with juices from all (black beans, kidney beans, diced tomatoes with chilies, tomato wedges and corn). Add water. Simmer for 2 hours. If mixture is too thick, add additional water. Garnish each serving with sour cream, shredded Cheddar cheese and sliced green onions if desired. Serve with tortilla chips. Makes 4 quarts.
