Taco Beef Soup

"This chunky soup is like a taco in a bowl--"

1/2 pound ground beef
1/4 cup chopped onion
1-1/2 cups water
1 (16-ounce) can stewed tomatoes, cup up, with canning liquid
1 (16-ounce) can kidney beans, with canning liquid
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 envelope taco seasoning mix (2 tablespoons)
1 small avocado, peeled, seeded, and chopped
shredded Cheddar cheese
corn chips
sour cream

In large saucepan, cook ground beef and onion until meat is browned; drain off excess fat. Add water, undrained tomatoes, undrained kidney beans, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning mix. Simmer uncovered 15 minutes. Add avocado. Pass cheese, corn chips, and sour cream to top each portion.--Nancy Jones, Forestville, Calif.
