the best tortilla soup!

so I inherited this recipe from my sister in law so I cannot take all the credit! I don't know if we do the recipe the exact same way, but close enough! This recipe is amazing and my go to meal if we have company or a group together. It is so easy to whip together and does not take any time at all!

what you will need:

1 can of diced tomatoes
1 can of black beans
1 can of Rotel
2 cans of corn - we use the fiesta kind
1-2 packages of dry ranch mix - we use 2 for more flavor
1-2 packages of taco seasoning - we use 2
1-2 lbs of ground meat - we prefer turkey - I use lean turkey for everything!
2 cups of water
cilantro - optional, I use it if I have some on hand, just however much you would like

throw in all your ingredients, be sure to drain your black beans

brown your meat

 toss in the meat and let the soup heat thoroughly - I usually let it come to a slight boil and then let it simmer a while so all the seasonings are soaked into the meat
on our last grocery trip I spotted these tortilla strips and thought we would try them out - so glad we did!  added some nice texture and crunch to the soup!




you may also want to add some shredded cheese and/or sour cream - and there you have it! a simple, easy and VERY delicious meal! ENJOY!

  2. This has nothing to do with that yummy soup, but about our girl DONNA. I KNOW?!? I was so mad at my DVR when I looked and it said NO UPCOMING EPISODES?!?! Seriously, what the heck???? I hate that the show seems to go in spurts of like 3 or 4 new ones at a time. Give me a whole season dang it! Okay, rant over :) Have a great weekend!
