And my thoughts immediately went to soup. A big pot of it. But I had a lot on my plate that day, including a 3-hour round trip to my grandpa’s house.  Thankfully, I had everything on hand for this tasty recipe.

And anything that is served over a bed of tortilla chips is likely to be a sure hit, even when noticeable vegetables are involved. :)
