I still do not have a working camera.  I need to figure out what to buy this weekend because I feel completely nekkid without a digi on my person at all times.  And in case you haven't noticed, this ole bloggy blog is severely missing photographs.  Any suggestions are more than welcome.




In the mean time, I came up with a very random but quite delicious soup this week.  It makes a TON.  I am an eat twice and freeze the rest kind of girl.  So I will be eating this soup for lunches for quite a while.  No complaints here.  It's very filling.  And totally healthy...until I go and ruin that by adding cheese. 

Ingredients:
* ground meat (I always use turkey)
* 1 onion, diced
* 1-2 cloves garlic, minced
* 2-3 cans kidney beans
* 1 can of corn
* 1 can of tomato sauce
* 2 cans diced tomatoes
* 1 package of taco seasoning
* stock or water
* shredded cheese
* corn or tortilla chips
* salsa
* sour cream

Directions:
* Brown meat in a little EVOO in large pot.  This makes a lot so use your big pot.  Add taco seasoning packet.  Add in onion and cook until translucent.  Add minced garlic last to be sure it doesn't burn.
* While cooking meat and onions, open all the cans.  Feel free to add more or less or use whatever you have on hand already. 
* Dump them all in the pot.  Don't even drain the beans.  I mean, you certainly can if you want to.  But the beans have been sitting it there for who knows how long.  Why throw away free flavored and thick liquid?  Right.  So it all goes in the pot.
* Stir.
* If you need more liquid, add either stock or water.  My pot was rather full at this point so I ended up adding a big can full of water but not a ton.
* Go walk the dog.  Or let it sit there cooking away for a good half hour.
* Serve with chips, cheese, sour cream and salsa (I forgot about the salsa actually but I am sure it would be yummy.).
* Enjoy! 

** If you brown the meat and onions off, you can certainly dump this in the crockpot and let it cook on low all day too.
