Method
Heat a large pot over medium heat.

In the same pot, cook onion and garlic until onion is translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add meat back to pot and sprinkle mixture with taco seasoning to blend.
Add broth, squash, beans, tomatoes, corn and salsa and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are cooked through and the mixture is thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
