January marks National Soup Month, and with temperatures still dropping, it‟s no wonder that people turn to a hot bowl of soup to warm them up! Today's high is a balmy SEVEN degrees. Yikes!
It's no secret that I'm no whiz in the kitchen...The easier, the better. Part of that has to do with time, or lack there of, and the other part of it has to do with me being just plain scared to try new recipes. (It doesn't help that I'm a pretty picky eater...)
A couple of years ago, my Mother-In-Law gave me an amazing giant stock pot for Christmas, along with some recipe books that are filled with all sorts of different soup recipes. I also scour the interwebs for various (easy!) soup recipes.
One of our favorites...
Chicken Taco Tortilla Soup!
