Chicken Tortilla Soup

Ingredients:
2 cans diced tomatoes with green chiles
2 cans chicken broth
1 can refried beans
1 can black beans, drained
2/3 c. canned/frozen corn
2 1/2 c. shredded chicken (I just use canned chicken if I'm in a hurry!)
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. cumin
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. salt
freshly ground black pepper to taste
2 small limes, juiced
handful chopped cilantro (amount is matter of personal preference)

Directions:
Combine broth, tomatoes, corn, and spices. Slowly work in the refried beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat; add chicken and simmer for 10-15 minutes or until chicken is heated through.  Add lime juice and cilantro to soup, stir into soup, then remove from heat and serve.  Optional toppings for individual servings: cheddar cheese, sour cream, tortilla chips, salsa, green onions, diced fresh jalepenos, etc.

This was really good, and REALLY easy. I think I might add some diced, fresh jalepenos next time for some more heat. It's not really spicy at all, but it still is very flavorful.

I might make this next week. YUM!

Taco Soup

*Fair warning to everyone: I seem to have a real issue with following recipes exactly . I don't think I ever follow a recipe the same way twice, and I'm really bad at measuring out ingredients, I tend to just 'eye' them alot, so if my recipes get really annoying when I just say, "as much as you want", sorry... 1/2 lb. ground beef 1 small red onion (I just always use regular onions, or onion flakes if I'm out of those) 2 cans stewed tomatoes (I just use regular petite diced canned tomatoes, but the recipe recommends Mexican style) 1 can kidney beans, undrained (I also add 1 can black beans, undrained) 1 can corn, undrained 1 package taco seasoning 1 can tomato soup (if you happen to be out of tomato soup like I was when Will & Peggy & Amy were here, about 1 soup can of salsa makes a nice substitution) I also like to add dried cilantro - um...as much as you want. Place all ingredients in large pot, and simmer for 15 min. Serve with sour cream, g...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is.  And that's okay!  Variety is the spice of life.  If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies....
