OK, so we are two weeks away from summer and it's not what most would call soup weather, but I can eat a good bowl of soup any time of the year.
This soup, it's one of my all-time favorite soups.
If it looks familiar, it's because I shared it back in February over at "This Silly Girl's Life", where I'm a monthly contributor.
I've tweaked it a bit, so I'm sharing the tweaked version.
If you like tacos and nachos, you will love this soup. I always make a big pot, just so there are leftovers to eat throughout the week. It's a hearty, fill-you-up soup, loaded with protein. Not a vegetarian? add your choice of meat. Honestly, this is more than just a soup - it's a topper for killer nachos, burritos, enchiladas, so many possibilities.
Summer or Winter this soup is just plain good.
This may become your families favorite!

Hi Celeste, thanks for sharing this. Your food images are amazing! I am so glad to have found a fellow vegetarian on the recent linkup hosted by Jen. How long have you been a vegetarian for? What was the reason? Anyway look forward to browsing your website now xx
Celeste says
Hi Jennifer, thanks for the compliment on my photos, I'm glad you found my blog. I have been a vegetarian for about three years now, and I did it for health reasons. I was always feeling sick after eating meals with meat, and after reading Crazy Sexy Diet by Kris Carr, I was convinced.

Kelly @ Mum-bo-Jumbo says
This sounds delicious! I will try this out but will adapt some of the flavours so Master Two doesn't find it too spicy! He loves tacos so think he will devour this. Pinned. Stopping by from Wednesday's Wisdom over at Nanna's Wisdom
Celeste says
Yeah, I know what you mean, I like spicy but not over-the-top spicy. The other day I had some jalapenos that had my lips on fire, hard to enjoy the food when it's too hot.
Debbie says
So easy and so delicious.
Besides, your pictures are mind blowing.
Thank you for joining #WednesdaysWisdom!
Celeste says
