I will be the first to admit that I am always the last to jump on any bandwagon. I usually err on the side of caution. Ask anyone that knows me well, I am skeptical about a lot of stuff! I don’t buy into infomercials, and before I believe anything on the world wide web I will verify, verify, verify!
Better late than never on this bandwagon though. It appears that Chipotle Rotel came out about a year ago. Who knew? This stuff is the bomb! I love the smoky taste of chipotle peppers anyway and adding them to Rotel was a brilliant idea. I say give the genius that came up with this idea a promotion!
I recently told you all about attempting a healthier lifestyle. More explanation on that will be posted next week after it appears in my newspaper article.
With the temperatures being in the low 90’s and Starbucks having pumpkin spice again, it totally has me in the mood for all things fall. That always means soup time for me!
I recently experimented a little with low carb taco soup. Using my cousin Nancy’s taco soup recipe loosely as a guide, I made this fabulous soup! Wes is free with his opinions, and he loved it. In fact, he said it was the best soup he’s ever had. That is like a “stop the presses” compliment from him! The chipotle Rotel shines in this soup. My family loved this soup so much that no one complained when we had leftovers!
If you are not worried about the carbs, you can always add a can of rinsed and drained black beans and even a can of drained hominy or corn.
