Today is Valentines Day!! Elly called Will's mom, Moddie to get Will's favorite soup recipe. Here it is..... We're having it with warm tortillas and a big ole fresh fruit salad (Em says the strawberries are monstrous at Sams!) blackberry & apple cobbler w/ice cream for dessert! Ymmmm! (Elly and Em are doing the cooking tonight!)

Good morning. My theme song these days is... If I only had a brain...I found your copy safe and sound in the floor board when we got home. (had to include Gaye's wonderful humor... she's one of the funniest... most fun people I know... I'm glad God put her in Elly's family!)
Regarding the soup.... It is my opinion that the longer you let it simmer,the better it is.
1 lb ground beef
1 chopped onion
1 pkg ranch style dressing mix
1 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 cups water
2 cans Mexican stewed tomatoes
1 can pinto beans (drained)1 can black beans (drained)
1 can crean style corn ( 2 if you want)
1 pkg corn torillas
grated cheese
Brown beef and onion, drain
Add all remaining ingredients and simmer for at least 30 mins.
Cut tortillas into 1/2" strips and bake until crisp
Serve with grated cheeseI did not do the tortillas strips. It is probably very good.
Love ya, Gaye
