meatless friday redesignI don't know about y'all, but in my neck of the woods it is still kind of chilly. I love soup on a cold day. To be more specific I love tortilla soup. Mine is chock full of black beans and kind of has a kick to it.  (That is from the Rotel Tomatoes)  The best part is most of this stuff you probably already have in your pantry.
