Living (& loving) the Blog Life ~ Taco Soup Style

Bubba tested, Mama approved.  Or Mama tested, Dada approved.  Or Dada tested, Bubba approved.  Whatever way you say it, this was some goooooood soup!  To have Bubba eat an entire bowl, chunks of onions and tomatoes and all means something went very right in this recipe. 

This is the taco soup from the ladies at Our Best Bites.  And it is deeelicious!

We had to make just few alterations to the recipe, not because I'm creative or had an opinion about how to improve it but simply out of necessity.  We only had 1 can on kidney beans so we used those as well as a can of rinsed black beans.  We also had to leave out one of the cans of diced tomatoes and substitute the can of tomato paste for the tomato sauce.  This was due to the fact that my pan wasn't big enough and I just couldn't fit them in.  Just look at ours!  I know it looks like there is room in there but once you start stirring up the chunky goodness in there it was running over the sides.

I had mine with sour cream and the boys had cheese but I'll tell you here and now, this is the first time ever that Dada has asked me to make him a dish to take to work for lunch.  He said he didn't need the cheese, just a spoon.  So that's that.  We have a new top soup recipe in our house!  Thank you Kate at OBB, we ♥♥♥ you!
