It’s about time I gave you a recipe. Not sure if you’re a “soup is only for winter” person, or if you’re like me and think soup can happily be lunch every day for all seasons. This one is a hit in our house, and it’s heavily inspired by a soup in the Yum and Yummer cookbook. There is so much flexibility in this recipe with the types of ground meat, beans, veggies, stock, etc. The great part is that no matter what combination I choose, it’s never a fail. So, enjoy!
