FOND MEMORIES AT THE CAMP....

My sister Jan, and my brother-n-law Tom, have a Camp on a lake . We spent the weekend there and my sis made a pot of "Taco Soup" during one of our annual trips to visit family,relatives and old friends.

The fireplace had a roaring fire going while we wathced tv together,then played a couple of rounds of "Hand and Foot" (a card game).
The Soup was delicious and even my picky-eater, Ashley said that she loved it.
Here is the recipe for that soup.
I hope you and your family enjoy it.
