Taco Soup

This is a great week night soup. It comes together quickly, and it’s even better the next day! Adjust the spice level to suit your tastes. We like it spicy. The heat can be moderated with some avocado or sour cream.

(Ground beef is a regular part of our CSA shares and can also be purchased in our daily grind packages.)
