Soup Season!

There is nothing like a warm soup on a cold day!  Fall and winter days are just right.  Besides warming you up they are so easy most of the time.  Here are some new soups we have been trying recently.

This first soup was made by my sister Sarah from Clay in His Hands.

This soup is so easy to make it the way you want it because you could add ground beef or chicken or onions and garlic. You can make if spicy or no so spicy.

Taco Soup

1 can of black beans
1 can of pinto beans
1 can of diced tomatoes
Frozen corn
Taco seasoning
Broth or water to your consistency and taste

Combine and cook for an hour or so.
Serve with chips, cheese, cilantro, sour cream or salsa.

This soup is so much better with fresh cooked beans in my opion.  When you cook a pot of beans freeze some of them to pull out and make this soup just as quickly as with caned beans.
