Taco Soup

I've been on a huge Mexican food kick lately. If it were up to me, I would be eating tacos, enchiladas, fajitas and quesadillas every day. I love everything about it...thinking about it, cooking it, eating it...I love it.



Another type of food that I crave, and have for lunch on most days, is soup. Minestrone, chicken noodle, vegetable...you name it, I will more than likely love it. Soup and crackers, soup and a sandwich...for me, it doesn't get much better than that when it comes to lunch.



With that being said, a few weekends ago I headed into the kitchen in search of something to prepare for lunch for the two of us. After perusing my cupboards I realized I had ingredients to make taco...soup! That's right, I served this delicious dish with corn chips (yet again, another food I crave) and moments later our bowls were clean.

Two of my favorites combined to make one delicious dish? What's not to love about that? I can't wait to make this again!
