My husband could eat Mexican food everyday (he is from Texas).  It was Soup Sunday so I decided to appease him and make some veggie enchilada inspired soup for him.  This soup is a one pot meal that makes clean up soup-er easy! Enchilada Inspiration…. […]

Guess how we kicked off the New Year?  With soup of course!  I made a big pot of Italian inspired creamy chicken noodle soup on New Year’s Day.  I don’t make a ton of meat soups because I usually eat them through out the week […]
