Taco Soup

© Judy Howle

The Autumn chill in the air signals that it's time to chow down on a hot bowl of soup. I recently had my first taste of Taco Soup made by a friend and thought it was delicious!! She topped hers with chopped green onions, chopped black olives, shredded cheese and a dollop of sour cream. Tortilla chips or Mexican cornbread are great accompaniments too. I have collected some lip-smackin' recipes for you to try. Enjoy!
