Taco Soup

Happy Friday!! Sorry I haven't posted since Monday, I've been dragging all week. My mom tells me that people have been trying my recipes and that is the best news ever! I'm so elated. I tend to think I'm the only person reading this so thank you so much! I try to make these meals using simple ingredients that you don't have to search for and most people have in their kitchens, Some recipes I look up have ingredients that I've never even heard of, you have to spend a thousand dollars looking for, or I've never even heard of them. Keep it simple and the meals will continue to bring joy for years to come.I actually made this on Tuesday in hopes of Taco Tuesday Soup. I made this recipe with ground pork for something a little different but please if you'd like to use ground beef or shredded chicken please do so. Every month Jake and I talk about the meals for the next month and I was trying to make plays on food you eat but in soup or stew form to jazz it up a little bit. I hope you enjoy!

Taco Soup

• 6 Cups chicken broth
• 1 Red onion, diced
• 2 Cups jarred salsa - I used medium 
• 1 Bell pepper, diced
• 1 Cup frozen corn (because it's just easier to use)
• 1 Can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1/2 Cup cilantro
• 1 lb Ground Pork, cooked

Combine all in pot and cook until veggies are tender. If using a pressure cooker, cook for 5 minutes. 

I souper enjoyed this meal. I added sour cream and cheese to mine and Jake left his the way it was. The corn added that crunchy texture and the spices were perfectly incorporated. We had no left overs - after I took some to work for lunch. I served this along side some tortilla chips to add a salty component.
