Many people are looking to improve their health by eliminating wheat, corn, and/or dairy from their diets. I have been experimenting with recipes that are free of wheat, corn, and dairy for several years. I've created "Ideal Ingredients" to share not only what I have learned, but also to share a delicious and healthy way of eating!

Special Note: If you are also avoiding eggs, you may substitute the following for 1 egg in my baked goods recipes.
1 egg = 1/3 cup applesauce OR 1/4 cup mashed banana OR 1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water

Taco Soup

I first tasted this delicious soup at the home of my college roommate. The melding of spices, meat, beans, and fresh toppings in that first spoonful was so soothing. I have recreated the recipe here to share with you. Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 pound lean ground beef
3 cups water
2 cans organic tomatoes, diced (14.5 oz each)
1 can organic tomato paste (6 oz)
1 can refried beans, vegetarian (15 ounce)
2-3 t chili powder
1/4 t garlic powder
1/4 t onion powder
1/4 t crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 t oregano, dried
1/2 t paprika
1/2 t cumin
1 t salt
1 t pepper

Directions
In a large soup pot, brown ground beef. Add the rest of the ingredients, mixing well. Simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Garnish with chopped lettuce, diced tomatoes, sliced black olives, and sliced avocado. If you are eating dairy or corn then, by all means, add tortilla chips and shredded cheese!
