Summary
I have a confession to make before we get started. Texas Taco Soup was originally called “Dr Pepper Taco Soup” when I published it back in 2006 on an old website called RecipeZaar. I don’t know if there are enough foodies around to remember that site before Food.com bought it out. The great thing is that it has almost a 5-Star Rating from 35 Reviewers and in this gal’s opinion, it’s the best taco soup out there! And before you ask, I do believe it’s even better than Paula Deen’s. What kind of self-respecting, Texas Chef would I be if I didn’t think my recipe was the best? LOL
