late girl's guide | tex-mex pinto bean soup

Steam rising from a hot bowl of soup just warms the soul during the colder months, doesn't it?  This recipe has been on repeat because it is so easy. Seriously, I mean really easy, but it tastes so hearty and homemade. Plus, soups are a fantastic way to use your leftover Thanksgiving turkey. 

1. Cook meatballs (or use shredded turkey or any other meat) fully. Set aside for later.

2. Heat soup following product directions. Add chilli powder and other spices to taste. 

3. Add meat to soup and let simmer for a few minutes.

4. Serve topped with avocado, shredded cheese and sour cream. 

Customizing a ready-to-serve soup is so easy, but the payoff is huge. It's an impressive, easy and flavorful fall meal.
