Day 3 of TS Lee - rain, rain, and more rain. To be honest, I find rainy days indoors cozy; one of my favorite things is reading a book while sipping on a cup of tea as I listen to the steady patter of rain on the roof. The husband and son, however, are stir-crazy, so they've roused me from my coziness into my second favorite thing to do on a rainy day - cooking.
I made this soup yesterday, in between visits to the market and scouting store. I love taco soup, but I've long wanted to make it without the packets of taco and ranch dressing. My friend, Faye, gave me her recipe chicken tortilla soup on Friday, and I decided to use it as a jump-off. Well, I have to say that
I love this soup, really, I think it's delicious! I used kidney and black beans, along with hominy and corn, but feel free to use your favorite beans. If you're a taco soup fan, I think you'll love this, too, so if you're looking for a delicious, economical, and slow-cooker friendly soup, make this soon!
