This is our family's favorite taco soup! Once when I was out of ground beef, I replaced it with cooked cracked wheat. We've never gone back! You will love it because it's much lower in fat, has beneficial whole grains, and it's full of flavor! Note: if you are making this a 100% vegan meal, be sure to check your taco seasoning ingredients (some contain whey), and omit the cheese and sour cream garnishes.
