Taco Soup

 What do you get when you take a taco:


Plus soup?


You get Taco Soup!

Googled image. Not my soup.

I first learned about Taco Soup from a roommate, Brooke. When she first made it for us, I thought she was bonkers. Tacos in a soup. A bowl of taco? Gross. But it's heavenly, and I love it.

When Jake and I got married, he thought I was nutso, too.  Now we eat it several times a month. And then I eat it the next day for lunch.  It's usually just as good the second day. 

I know that many of you also eat taco soup. So here's my question for all of you. How do you make yours? What makes yours special? Here's my recipe:

1 lb  Browned Ground Turkey
1 Can Corn
1 Can Black Beans
1 Packet Taco Seasoning
1 Small Can of Tomato Sauce
1 Small Tomato Sauce Can of Water
About 1/2 Cup of Pureed Salsa

Simmer all ingredients for about a half hour. Serve with tortilla chips.  Sometimes I simmer all the liquid down so we can put it in a taco shell.
So easy, yet so delicious.

So what is different about your recipe???

To Make You Smile

I follow a lot of Bird Blogs. It's what I do, it makes me happy. Very rarely do I put the bird stuff on here, because I understand others don't find it as amusing as I. 

One of my favorite bird blogs, posted this funny picture of a nesting Chickadee, and it made me chuckle. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Okay, you probably shouldn't enjoy it as much as I did. That would be wrong.
