This is great dish when you are having company. Everyone seems to like it. Even the kids.

1tsp dried parsley flakes

Brown ground beef, add all the remaining ingredients and simmer for about an hour on low and serve with:

cheese
sour cream
fritos or corn chips

CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

4 chicken breast ( I cook these in the crockpot and then shred) or you can use canned EASY!
1 large onion
garlic about 5 cloves or (as much as you like)
olive oil
1 large can of tomato sauce
3 cans of chicken broth
1 bag frozen corn
salt and pepper
cumin to taste

optional- some taco seasoning ( a couple of Tablespoons) I don't usually do this but I have and it is good.

Saute onion in olive until translucent add rest of ingredients and simmer on low for a couple of hours or an even easier way is to throw it all in crockpot. I serve this with tortilla chip, cheese, and sour cream.
