Happy New Year! I hope you had an awesome celebration with family and friends. We just hung out at our house for New Year’s Eve and ate some snacks and homemade pizza. I barely made it to midnight.

After falling asleep around 10, I somehow managed to wake up at 11:45 – just in time to see the ball light up in NYC.

Personally, I miss the falling ball…

It was more exciting and really gave you something to look forward to seeing each year.

Oh well…

After a week of eating too much, the kids really didn’t want dinner on New Years Day.

Of course, the husband did and so I had to come up with something that was light enough to satisfy me and the girls, but hearty enough for dear old Dad.

Soup it is!

I headed to my recipe vault and started searching, but I couldn’t decide if I wanted Creamy Chicken and Garlic Soup or White Chicken Chili.

So, I combined the two and came up with this delicious Cheesy Chicken Taco Soup.

The best part about this soup is it’s ready in less than 30 minutes!

I mean, you could turn it on low and cook it for hours if you really wanted to, but who has time for that?

Just throw it all together and serve in less than half an hour.

It’s perfect for a busy night or a just a night when you don’t feel like cooking.

Plus, you can give your husband a big, ole hearty serving filled with the veggies and meat, while adding a smaller portion and more broth to your own bowl.

No, it’s certainly not the healthiest of soups, but add it to your dinner menu anyway.

It’s so good and will satisfy your whole family on a cold winter’s night.

Enjoy!
