This one is rather labor intensive, but it's delicious and everyone (kids and adults) love it.
Serve with salad and crusty french bread...yum!
amazing
I’ve used this recipe!!!
And it’s fabulous on a cold winter night, glass of chardonnay, fire in the fireplace
Can’t wait for winter
Try Italian Wedding soup. It takes a day to make but its awesome.
I love making soup, too!
These are two of my favorites. Easy and tasty!

2 cans (14 1/2 oz) stewed tomatoes
2 cans (14 1/2 oz) Mexican diced tomatoes
1 regular size jar chunky salsa
jalapenos, sour cream and cheese for serving (optional)
In a large pot cooks sausage and beef until no pink remains. Drain. Add taco seasoning, mix well. Stir in water, all beans, all tomatoes, and salsa. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for about 30 minutes or until beans are tender. Garnish each serving with jalapenos, sour cream and cheese, if desired.
