Brrr! It’s cold outside and that means it’s time for soup.
This Taco Soup recipe is one of my favorites on cold winter days. It’s easy and I usually have all of the ingredients on hand — who wants to go to the grocery store when it’s cold?!
I often make this on the weekend and then freeze some of it so that I have several easy lunches in the future. It’s also great for a big gathering and people can add toppings so that it’s customized to their liking.
