MOIRA MITCHELL'S QUICK AND EASY TACO SOUP
Yet another of my mother's recipes I enjoyed as a kid! This is a tasty and flavorful soup that is easy to make and works as a great lunch or dinner meal. I can remember as a kid that I liked to pour the hot soup over the chips and cheese and play with the cheese as it melted (who says you can't play with your food?) I hope you enjoy this soup as much as I have and make good family memories with it.

SUPER EASY TACO SOUP
Another great recipe from my sister who swears by Weight Watchers. This recipe can easily be swtiched up to fit your personal taste and can be doubled or tripled for the freezer. I am always adding a bit of this or a touch of that. It always turns out great. I like to serve it with cornbread to sop up the juice. Enjoy!:)
