“A year of snow, a year of plenty.” ~French Proverb This has ended up being “Soup Week.” It is certainly soup weather! We got a bit more snow and ice last night. Much like people who feel they bring on a rain by washing their cars, we have decided we brought on this unusually snowy, icy weather for our area by getting MC a puppy for Christmas. It sure is cold taking a doggie out in the inclement weather! Big bowls of hot soup have been perfect for warming us up! Tamale Soup Tamale Soup I have made this soup for years, tweaking it from time to time as my kids’ taste developed and different tomato products came onto the market. This is my latest version! Ingredients: 1 pound ground chuck, browned and drained 2 cans Mexicorn, drained 1 can beef broth 1 packet taco seasoning (or 1 tablespoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon cumin, and 1 teaspoon salt) 2 (15-ounce) cans tomato sauce for chili 2 (15-ounce) cans beans, drained (kidney beans, pintos, black beans - all of one or a combination) 1
