Taco Soup

from the kitchen of Christine
This soup is so easy and has amazing great flavor:

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped well
1 (15 oz ) can of black beans
1 (15 oz ) can of pinto beans
1 (15 oz ) can of kidney beans
1 (15 oz ) can of chili beans
1 (28 oz ) can of peeled, diced tomatoes
2 (15 oz ) soup cans of water
1 (16 oz ) jar of mild salsa (choose a salsa that has great taste to your liking; it adds a lot of flavor)
1 (16 oz) can of Italian seasoned tomato sauce
1/2 cup fresh, chopped cilantro leaves (or more to your liking)

Brown ground beef and onion in a LARGE pot (this makes a ton so be prepared to share with a neighbor or freeze some leftovers for a busy day!). Drain fat. Add the rest of the ingredients (liquids and all) to the pot. Heat through. In a bowl layer shredded lettuce, sour cream, grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips, olives, etc. Pour soup over the top and Enjoy!
