Taco Pasta Soup

Earlier in the week, when the entire US decided to become an artic tundra, we were hanging out at home since it was -3 degrees and there was no way I was going to the store OR asking someone to deliver food for us. No one needed to be outside. So I decided to whip up a soup with whatever I had on hand. I had some veggies, I had some chickpea pasta, broth, beans, and spices. And boom, a delicious soup was made! Soup is the best and just gets better as leftovers, and luckily this soup makes A LOT. I just made a second batch for my SIL to eat while we are out of town and she’s out our house taking care of the pup. It’s the least I could do leaving her in 30 degree weather while we go to 90 degrees. Totally equal, huh?

We are off to Costa Rica today! We booked a trip to Spain last year, but obviously that was cancelled, so we had credits with the travel company used. SO we decided to book something close by and went with Costa Rica. I’ve been to Costa Rica twice now and loved every second of it. This time we are heading to a whole new area, Tamarindo, with two of our friends. We don’t have anything booked, but plan to spend most days on the beach, surfing and bodyboarding, eatings LOTS of rice and beans, and we will probably do all the other excursions like ziplining, ATV, and hopefully get on the water in a catamaran. So pumped to get to warm weather!

And just FYI, if you want to make this recipe completely paleo, just use a paleo pasta and you can remove the beans in the recipe. Bada bean, bada boom! And if you’re wondering why I’m making so many bean recipes, check out this post on the bean protocol! Beans have drastically changed my life for the better and I hope they can do the same for you! Anywho, I’m currently on a flight to Houston then we head to Liberia! We’ve been up since 2am so if this post has any spelling errors, it’s because I’m completely delirious. Not sure I have that excuse for every other blog post I’ve shared in the past. We are about to land in Houston so go have the best day and make this soup ASAP! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
