Notes
*Ideas for making this recipe easier: You can use 3 tablespoons of prepared taco seasoning instead of the dry seasonings if you are looking to save time, however, I really love this combination—especially the smoked paprika!
*This makes a good amount of soup! I suggest freezing half for an easy dinner another night!
