I have been craving Mexican food which ties into the easy soup recipe I have to share with you.
I received this recipe from my sister-in-law. It is a favorite dish of hers to make for company. She leaves the soup on the stove for guests to help themselves and add the yummy toppings she has lined up on the kitchen counter. Although this recipe has a lot of green chilies it is mild and has a distinctive Mexican flavor.
My husband and I both loved the Taco Soup. I hope you do too! Enjoy! Buen Apetito!
See You Next Month! Meet Me In The Kitchen!
