Dinner Highlight: Beef Chili Soup

Need a hearty soup recipe? This is it! :-D

.....And yes, I am on a soup frenzy!! :-P

While we were spending a weekend with my in-laws, my momma-in-law shared a recipe book with me entitled, "The Soup Bible." It was literally filled with hundreds of soup recipes from all over the world. Of course, I took advantage of this moment and wrote down a few recipes that I was sure were going to be great additions to my repertoire. When I saw this recipe, I immediately thought of my hubby. He absolutely enjoys delicious soups, especially those that are as hearty and as meat-filled as this. Not only was this a hot at home, but it was surprisingly enjoyed by my church family as well at a fellowship lunch. I hope y'all enjoy this as much as we have! :-)
