One of last years most popular recipes on cook fast eat slow was Taco Salad. You can find the recipe here, Taco Salad
Today I am sharing with you the winter equivalent, Taco Soup.
Hugging a warm bowl of this on a chilly night is very comforting, and often takes me back to my childhood, where it was a family favourite.
This is my version but be as creative as you like with your toppings. We usually have all the toppings on the table so everyone can ‘dress’ their soup with whatever they like. Our favourite toppings are natural corn chips, guacamole or plain avocado, grated cheese, sour cream and capsicum.
