Taco Soup For Fools ;)

Taco Soup - The Balance Culture - Kirstin Czernek - Nutrition

It has hit a chilling 70 degrees here in Florida, which means we have tiny (miniscule) moments of cold that we cling on to. To fight the chill šŸ˜‰ we bust out the soups! Taco soup has been my ā€œgo-toā€ soup this winter! I am the type of person that can eat the same thing over and over until I literally hate it and canā€™t eat it again for a year (sandwiches, sushi, Saigon, eggs, and spaghetti squash to name a few šŸ˜‰ . I donā€™t know why I do this to myself but I do and for some reason I canā€™t change it, so taco soup it is! I literally have had it all the time for a couple of months now. Itā€™s so easy to make and lasts all week, done and done!

I feel like I canā€™t keep this treasure to myself anymore and HAVE to share the recipe with you guys so you have something to keep you warm this winter šŸ˜‰ . It is also a really good dinner for me because I donā€™t get back from the studio until at least 9:00pm and itā€™s hard to eat something heavy right after working out especially when I am heading to bed in the next hour. Soup is that happy medium for me that fills without stuffing me and making me feel sick in the morning- win!

I have shared with you guys that I am not a huge meat person, Sometimes I crave it but most times I donā€™t. So you can make this soup vegetarian or add the ground beef, turkey or whatever you prefer! I have been buying this brand `of beef for Tomas from Publix and he is obsessed, it really is good! He is constantly like ā€œit tastes like steakā€, and he literally freaks out every time we make it! One package is great for this size soup, which makes usually about 10 big bowls. We put the meat in a separate tupperware and he just adds it in when he heats it up!

We usually cook this together on Sunday night like itā€™s our thing. Nothing like bonding over taco soup! He opens all the cans and dumps the contents in a big pot and I cook the meat. It for real takes ten minutes max, the non-cookers dream! Clean up is super easy too because I usually store the soup in the pot I cooked it in the fridge, so I am just cleaning the pan from the meat! Iā€™m telling you guys this soup is the dreeeaaammm!
