Tasty Tuesdays Bloghop: Santa Fe Soup

This one is for all you busy moms out there who are desperately trying to get something healthy down your kid's gullet.

Trust me. I get it. Life is busy. And it ain't slowin down any time soon. But we can't eat fast food every single day, right?

So, a quick, easy, healthy, hearty, yummy meal in a pinch. Perfect for these frigid days, particularly the ones right here in the midwest. Compliments of my sis's MIL.

Here's a card to grab. Just save it as an image and print on photo paper or cardstock.

The great part is you can keep most of these canned goods on hand. And if you don't mind using a can opener it could become a fav. No need to drain juice, just throw it all in. Oh, and if you want a healthier version you could opt for ground turkey. Or leave out meat altogether.

My kids loved it. My son went back for seconds. I do realize that not all kids dig beans though, so here's a few non-legume alternatives in case you missed them in some of my previous tasty tuesdays. You can click on the name of recipe at top to see previous post or just snag the card.

Turkey Hash

Cheesy Potato Soup

Chicken Noodle Soup

Hope you are staying warm. And if it's summer where you are, don't tell me how nice it is. Thanks for stopping by. If you wanna play, just grab the button and enjoy the bloghop.

I know what I'll be making tomorrow! It is 20 degrees here in NC (when the heck did that happen?) and for the next few nights, and these soups look so delish. I am thinking the Santa Fe soup. Yum!! Angie

Hi Lish! What wonderful variety of soups you have! My kids too adore anything warm in a bowl where the ingredients arent all that distinctive! I do try to hide a lot in the bowl to make the most of every spoonful! I am sharing a family favorite! Leftover stuffing "meatballs"! All the best, Alex

Your soups sound lovely - especially the Santa Fe one - yum! We are having very cold weather here in England too and I've been serving lots of soups and casseroles. I've linked up an orange and raisin loaf that is easy to make in a bread maker. Thanks for hosting :)

I'm adding the Santa Fe soup recipe to my list for next week's menu. Looks so yummy! I wonder if it would work well with chicken? Thanks Alicia.

The soup sounds lovely, but I am not sure if my ever-more-fussy eater would eat it. That said, we are now eating tacos on a very regular basis as it is quick and easy and she eats them non-stop, which is always a good thing :)

And, although she is becoming fussy, she does eat beans :)

We suddenly got hit with cold weather this week, so soup sounds especially good!

Thanks for the recipes, and thanks for hosting!

Some soup would be good after I come in from shoveling...close to 2 feet of snow!
