It's soup weather!

I've made a lot of soup the last few days. Mega snow drifts tend to make you think along those lines. The soup recipe I found today is one that I discovered at least 15 years ago. It was a favorite the first time we tried it! You can add heat or keep it mild depending on what type of salsa you use.

TACO SOUP
2# ground chuck
1 med yellow onion, chopped
1/2 tsp garlic powder (use 1 fresh garlic clove if you have it)
1 - 28oz can tomatoes, diced
1 package taco seasoning
1 - 8 1/2 oz jar salsa
2 cups water
1/2 head iceberg lettuce, shredded
2 cups shredded cheese (jack, cheddar or both!)
tortilla chips

Brown ground chuck and onion - drain. Combine with garlic powder, tomatoes, seasoning, salsa and water in a large pot. Simmer 30 min. Let each person garnish with broken chips, cheese, sour cream and lettuce. Pass more chips and lots of water.
