Taco Soup, with Homemade Taco Mix

There are many versions of this quick soup; this is the one I rely on, and it's perfect when I  need dinner in 30 minutes. It calls for a taco seasoning mix. Recently I started mixing my own, and I chose the recipe from the internet primarily because I had all the ingredients on hand. But the whole family enjoys it, both in this soup and on ground beef tacos, so it's a keeper.
