Taco Soup

1 lb ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 14.5 ounce cans of tomatoes with green chilies
2 15 ounce cans of pinto beans (rinsed and drained)
1 15 ounce can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 15 ounce can of corn
1 pkg ranch style dressing mix
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 cup water
1 winter squash, such as Acorn squash, cut in half (optional)

First cook the Acorn Squash in the pressure cooker for about 15 minutes.  ( I am really not sure because I haven't cooked it in there yet.) So, that is my guess. Remove the squash and  brown the ground beef.  Place in a colander and rinse it under hot water. Cook the chopped onion until translucent. Then add the ground beef back in.  Now just dump all of the rest of the stuff in.  Scrape the squash into the soup and heat.  You can eat this immediately or let it simmer for 20 minutes or so.  If you think it is too thick, add more water. I really like this with the squash in it. It adds a subtle sweetness to the soup.  

Add:  Tortilla strips (found in the salad section of your store.)
Greek yogurt or no fat sour cream
Cheese
