I made tacos the other night. They were delicious. And as usual, even though I am only cooking for the three of us, I managed to make enough for about six armies. It is nearly impossible for me to make small portions when I cook. Normally this isn't a problem because I am making some pasta or sauce dish that holds up well for a few days of leftovers. Tacos don't translate as well three days later. So, since my girl and I are both fighting a cold I thought I'd use the taco fixins to make a fabulous soup. It was perfect for the occasion....AND, this time the leftovers will get finished.
Taco Soup:
Leftover taco meat
Leftover diced tomatoes (plus a little more)
Leftover chopped red onion (plus a little more)
Leftover olives
Leftover diced jalapenos
Leftover corn
Add in:
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups beef broth
4 cloves minced garlic
1 bell pepper (color of your choice)
Some flat leaf parsley and a bit of fresh cilantro
A little chili powder and cumin
A sprinkle of salt and some fresh cracked pepper
Super yummy with a dollop of sour cream when served. Enjoy! We sure did.
