Taco Soup

I made taco soup tonight. You have no idea how long I have been thinking about making taco soup but have been so intimidated by it. It turned out to be really easy though, and it used up 4 cups of my dry beans! (Figuring out how to prepare dry beans intimidated me once too). The soup was yummy and even better, I learned I could freeze the soup to warm up later. Good thing because it made a crock-pot full. 

What other soup recipes should I try?

And another picture from Halloween. One of my beehives titled my "costume" as a soccer mom because I wore a Mia Hamm soccer jersey. Richard originally bought that shirt for me long before we started dating, hoping one day to give it to me. And then I married him. It's kind of like how I gave him "The Bean Game" aka Bohnanza for a Christmas present, hoping I would marry him that way the game would be mine again. No, that's not the only reason I married him--but I anticipated things pretty well didn't I?
