    Mexican Turkey Soup

    The best part about Thanksgiving is that you almost already know what you are getting before the day  even starts. The turkey is the family recipe, mashed potatoes are how the family likes them, and the same goes for the consistency of the squash and whether or not there is a green bean casserole. Maybe…

    Most Amazing Tomato Soup… ever.

    I have a smaller confession to make. I used to think canned soup was the best thing and now the idea of buying it makes me sad. To be clear, I’m not judging in the least. Seriously, look in my cabinet. It’s filled with Kraft Mac & Cheese, canned tuna, and other similar products. Canned soup…
