it is.....
TACO SOUP (yummmmmmm!)
brown 1 pound of ground meat (trader joe's leanest of the lean)
add onions if you like (flakes or the real deal)
pepper to taste
1 package of taco seasoning mix (we totally prefer cheesy taco)
now for the cans... just add them to the meat:
1 can mexican corn
1 can diced tomatoes (or rotel if you like it spicy! ...not for me)
1 can pinto beans
1 can diced green chiles
22 ounces of V8 (for a thinner soup add more. the canned 6 pack works well)
bring to a boil and stir. let simmer on low 30 minutes. TIME TO EAT!
fritos under (for me) if you like them a little soggy or on top (for jon) if you like them crunchy. top with a little cheddar cheese and sour cream.
the most comforting of all comfort foods, my friends! it is so simple because we always have the ingredients in stock, and we can usually get 6 hearty meals out of it.
try it tonight!
as for the quote portion... jon and i had a saturday study date at the border's down the street, and i was sipping my new favorite tea -- good earth -- best ever... i think it will be my favorite forever! so good earth puts cute little quotes on the tea bag's little folded paper piece at the end of the stringy thing... wow! did you get that? i wonder what the formal name for that could be??? i am not savvy with tea bag anatomy! so... i am not sure how i feel about the quote... but it was interesting for sure. jon and i exchanged a "hmmm" and went about our studying. i am still thinking...
"the world is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy for those who think." --horace walpole
now, make some taco soup and then curl up on the couch with some good earth tea and pretend your are living in a snow globe. that is how i do it! by the way... we got another couple inches today! i still love snow!
