Taste: Tastes like chili, honestly. But it IS spicy. Especially after the second package of hot taco seasoning and a dash of some pepper in the cabinet. To the point that I can taste the spicy. And I burned my tastebuds out, so that’s gooood soup.
Preparation: OMG. I browned the meat (“meat”) the night before, then the next morning after I went to work kiir put it all together (and added the extra seasonings) and left it cook all day, stirring occasionally!
Recipe: Brown. Simmer for a day 
Only thing was we decided it wanted more spice. And next time we might leave the meat out, since it was plenty hardy already, and kindof almost too lumpy to be a “soup”. And we still haven’t figured out WTF a “chili bean” is, so we just used more kidney beans
Cost: Beans – cheap. Corn – cheap. Tomatoes – cheap. Ground “meat” – moderate. Tomato sauce – free, basically. The meat and the taco seasoning may have been the most expensive ingredients, honestly
