Day #301 - Quick Taco Soup

On the bus ride home from my taiko class, the weather was rather gloomy.  Cold, windy, and drizzling rain. It comes as no surprise that I was craving soup.  Between a quick stop at Target, and the contents of my fridge, I was able to throw together a quick Taco Soup.

I started by cooking down some diced green bell pepper in my soup pot, then tossed in a can of Rotel tomatoes, a can of kidney beans, some leftover taco meat, a diced cooked turkey burger, and a cup of V-8 tomato juice.  I let this mixture simmer on the stove for 20-30 minutes.   I topped my bowl with some shredded cheddar cheese and served with a small handful of Doritos (my splurge treat for tonight).
