Taco Soup
Kayla Chamberlain

1 lb hamburger
2 (15 oz) can whole kernel corn (don’t drain)
2 (10 oz) cans tomatoes with chilies
2 (15 oz) cans kidney beans (drained and rinsed)
* note - if you have a small family only use 1 can of corn, tomatoes, and kidney beans.
1 envelope taco seasoning
1 (10 oz) can tomato soup
1 cup water
Doritos
Grated cheese


Brown meat and drain off excess grease. While meat is browning heat all other ingredients (except Doritos and cheese) in a large pot. Add browned hamburger and simmer until everything is heated well.

You can also put it all in a crockpot and let it simmer on low all day to blend the flavors even more.

To serve, crumble Doritos in a bowl and spoon soup over the top and sprinkle with cheese. It’s also yummy with sour cream stirred in.

 

Butternut soup and macaroni cheese.

 

It’s raining here in Utah. Our weather has been all kinds of crazy this year - in the 80s nice, then cold and rainy or snowy. Mother nature doesn’t know what to do.

The taco soup recipe above is an easy one with mostly shelf stable ingredients. I stocked up on the canned foods during caselot sales. I also freeze up packs of taco meat when I buy a huge pack of hamburger at Sam’s Club. It makes this taco soup a dump and go meal for the crockpot on cold winter days.

 

Lentil soup. Macaroni and cheese.

 

Taco soup sounds yummy and I've never tried it.

Chili is usually our go-to cold weather food.

 

Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup was always a favorite growing up. Mac and cheese actually sounds good on the very windy day today.

 

Oh yes: this. A comfy and cozy cold-weather classic! My mum used to make us tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. Pure comfort food.

 

We love Cincinnati Chili or a good old beef roast with mashed potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Now I'm hungry.

 

Chili for sure, homemade chicken pot pie, spaghetti, veggie soup, and all the warm creamy things

 

We had white chicken chili on a cold day this week and it definitely hit the spot.

 

definitely soup...favourites over winter were garden vegetable, bacon & corn, tomato & basil, lamb and vegetable and chicken and vegetable. I had them pretty much every day over winter with some homemade gluten free bread

 

I love beef stew for those cold, windy days on a weekend when you can let it stand on the stove for hours. On weekdays I’m more of a soup person, lentils or veggies soup are fast food and perfect on a rough day.

 

yesterday I made this cauliflower pumpkin gratin ... `
- Spice pumpkin cubes with curry, turmeric, pepper and salt. some olive oil on top and bake in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes
- steam cauliflower florets
- use half the cauliflower to make cauliflower cheese sauce
- put the other half in an oven dish together with the pumpkin cubes
- cut a thick slice of cooked ham into cubes and place over the vegetables in the oven dish
- pour the cauliflower cheese sauce over the vegetables - some gratin cheese on top and briefly under the grill ...
yummy ...

 

Oatmeal in the morning for sure.
