I’m off to go look a little less like an “old lady” and getting my hair cut and colored, then I have a long list of errands to run. A LONG LIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You all have a great day. See you tomorrow.
Simple Taco Soup
I LOVE soup but am not particularly fond of Mexican Food. I like Taco salad and Taco Soup. This looks so easy. One of the reviewers panned this because everything was canned. If you watch food network much, you know that canned tomatoes especially are going to “taste” canned unless you cook them a long time. Preferably an hour or more. The cure for the canned taste, cook this soup a long time. Me, I would simmer it on low for over an hour. I make a 30 minute chili recipe that I cook for about 2 hours. The longer with canned foods, the better. PLUS, any vegetable out of a can (ESPECIALLY tomatoes), I add a tsp. of sugar to. It helps very much to enhance the flavor.
We first sampled this chili-like soup at a church dinner. It's a warming dish on a cold day. And since it uses packaged seasonings and several cans of vegetables, it's a simple taco soup to prepare. —Glenda Taylor, Sand Springs, Oklahoma
