Tex-Mex Soup

You can use canned ingredients or use frozen or homemade canned from your garden. As you can see in my diverse selection, I do not favor just one store or brand. I treat all of them equal~



I have the Pampered Chef professional pan. It's very large. And it's also my most favorite pan, ever! There may be a better one out there. But I don't own that one, yet. So, until then...... I sautee'd the onion on one side while I browned the ground turkey on the other.




 Then added all the canned ingredients, or garden fresh produce, if you are fancy like that. Then add water until it's "Soupy". Sorry, I don't measure much! 2-4 cups, I think.
 
 

Then add about a cup or so of your favorite salsa. Then after this, I forgot to take an "after" picture because I was so busy trying to get the boys to sit down to eat. They were starving! And if you have ever seen those in the wild- wild, hungry boys- then you know it can be dangerous! So there is another pic of the veggies abpve....Enjoy!!

 1. Sautee onions and cook ground beef/turkey.(*Drain any fat)
2. Sprinkle with chili powder and cumin, enough to coat beef.(the amount is really for your own desired taste)

About Me


Holly Nelson "Let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a quiet and gentle sprirt, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:4 - "An excellent wife,who can find? Her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 ~~ I am a stay-at-home-mom(SAHM) married to the love of my life, Jeff Nelson. We have six wonderful boys. Ryan(13), Seth(11), Ian(8), Noah(5), Luke(4), and Jack (born April 2010). We live in Tennessee on 4 acres. I grew up the first few years of my life on a dairy farm in Missouri and loved country living. I was saved at a young age by the grace of God and shed blood of Jesus during that time of simple country living. That part of my life is very dear to me. God taught me many things as a baby Christian that I can still think about today. Then we moved to Memphis when I was in the 5th grade. I learned to love the city life, too. It was a completely different way of life. My whole family still lives in Missouri, still does a little farming and simple country living. When Jeff, the kids, and I moved from the city to the country, I incorporated my city life with my country background. My mom laughs at me when I cut my grass on my John Deere tractor while drinking my Starbucks Mocha and wearing my fancy sunglasses. And when I am shampooing my carpet in my high-heeled black boots. I just love those boots! But I would love to share about how I got to be the way I am today, The Victoriously Organized Woman! I used to work as a supervisor at bank for years. I had to dress up everyday. After the birth of our second child we decide I should be a SAHM. One of the best decision I've ever made. But I made a bad decision, too. I hardly ever dressed up anymore. I hardly ever wore make-up. After about a year I looked in the mirror and said, "OH MY! Jeff has to come home to this!?!" He is so wonderful he said he liked me that way, "natural". Well , I realized that I didn't. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt disorganized, tired and stressed and a little "rough" looking. I felt I just couldn't get it all done. At this time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I wasn't able to do certains things. Like mop the floor of my completely hardwood floor home that I was obsessed about keeping clean. The doctor told me I couldn't have salt, caffeine, or stress! "What?! Are you kidding!?" So , then I decided to change my routine,thought pattern, and cooking. I began to get up early, shower and dress, put on make up. Always being ready to leave whenever I needed to. I established routines that helped me eliminate extra cleaning and stresses. I was able to make more time for myself and make more time for my family. And the family had more time for each other. I made more time for God and others. This made me feel better about myself. I am so happy about how this changed my life I want to share it with everyone.
