We’ve been wandering around the house thinking about packing and finding all sorts of interesting things. I found a tortilla soup mix in the pantry and decided to make it for supper. I added chopped turkey rather than ground turkey, and a can of diced tomatoes instead of tomato sauce – because that is what I had. It simmered a while and then Keith tasted it. He reported that it didn’t taste like much. I said then throw it away first, then he suggested adding some spices. He got at it and said he fixed it.
I looked at it. It was weird looking – so dark. I suggested we add corn. Keith agreed. I dumped in a whole bag of frozen corn and freaked Keith out. He said he thought maybe a cup would have been good. He was wrong. The corn was the best part.
