Well my back deck has over a foot of fresh snow, I am very grateful we did not lose power. I hope those who did get it back real soon. It is a whopping 9 degrees this morning and the winds are blowing, not as bad as last night where they were whipping; the snow drifts are just crazy. Please stay safe and if you can stay in today; which I plan on doing; it’s a great day to make some warm soup, a chili or a stew. I know I plan on spending some quality time in the kitchen today.

I made this soup during my 30 minute lunch break last week and I can’t believe this was the first time making Taco Soup. It was super easy to make and I loved the flavor. I think the best part was using up some ingredients from the freezer and pantry. I really love being able to use what I have on hand. I had put some corn that I cut off the cob several months ago into the freezer which came in handy for this soup.

You can customize this soup with what you have on hand or to your liking. Instead of on the stove you could make this in your slow cooker. brown the turkey and onion and add to the crockery. add the rest of the ingredients and cook on low 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. Replace the turkey with ground chicken. You can make it spicier by adding your favorite hot sauce.
