Taco Soup (Day 29)

I’ve signed up for a 31-day writing challenge.  Every day in October, I post a new slow cooker recipe, a link to a previously posted slow cooker recipe, or a recipe from another blog.

Yes, I know this is another soup recipe.

We had lots of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, so it was a good thing I had taco soup on the menu for Tuesday.  There is something about soup on a dreary day.  It helps brighten your soul.

The Wee One loves tacos, so I thought he would like this soup.  He probably would have liked it better if I had served it with tortilla chips.

Hubby and I loved the soup.  It’s easy to put together in the morning.  The soup uses ingredients that most people have in the pantry.

The boys decided they wanted me to take a picture of them.  I was trying to get a picture of the soup.

This is the Wee One taste testing the soup.  I have no clue while he is holding his head.
