Perfect Soup for a Cold Winter's Day!


Having had chili in the last two weeks, I was looking for a recipe for a soup to make that would last throughout the work week and lo and behold, I found the ole Taco Soup recipe that I make quite often during the cold winter months.  It's hot and spicy and will warm your soul!
