Taco Soup
I love making this taco soup because of its easy variations. The base of the soup opens itself up for many flavorful additions. In fact, every time I make this soup, I add a little something different, from various veggies to different bean options. And serving it provides just as many options. My husband pours it on top of rice, making a burrito-type bowl, while I just eat it as is and dip a few chips in!
