I love soup. The good thing about soup is that it is (or can be) a very frugal meal. Fall is my favorite time of year - and one of the biggest reasons for this is that it is soup eatin' season again!
In honor of fall - and winter for that matter - I will be having Souper Saturday each Saturday through March and will be sharing some favorite soup recipes. I probably don't have enough recipes to last through March - so please feel free to share and I will be happy to post it on my blog and give you credit!
So, here is the first installment. One of my FAVORITE soups is Taco Soup - and it is so easy.
1 8 oz. can tomato sauce
1 can kidney beans; drained and rinsed (about 14 oz)
1 can diced tomatoes (about 14 oz)
1 package taco seasoning (depending on how strong you want the flavor, sometimes I just use 1/2 packet)
1 can of corn; drained (this is optional, but a great addition, especially if you are trying to stretch it to feed a lot of people)
Add all ingredients to a medium saucepan on medium heat. If soup seems too thick, add up to 1 cup of water. Cook until heated through. If desired serve with grated cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and/or sour cream. Serves about 6.
How about you? Do you have any great soup recipes you want to share? Please leave a comment or e-mail me at savingsomegreen (at) gmail (dot) com!

I always do variations, like not use the can chicken stock, but use powder or chicken bones instead.
Thanks Ann! I'll be sure to share these in detail on one of my Souper Saturday posts in the future!
