Taco Soup

On cold, wet days, nothing is as good as a hot, filling soup. We eat a lot of different soups in the Fall and Winter. They are warm and comforting and with a piece of fresh, out of the oven bread, they make a great meal. This soup is one of the easiest soups to make. You can put it together in a matter of minutes and let it simmer to let the flavors combine.
