My wife and I recently came down with a cold for the first time since the pre-COVID era. Due to our baby’s dairy allergy, the cans of Progresso in the pantry just wouldn’t cut it for her soup craving. I have never been a soup eater, but after scouring recipes and not finding any dairy-free ones that sounded appealing, I came up with this creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We always have ground beef in the freezer for times when we forget to go to the store, so I decided on that as a base. I quickly found tomato sauce and some potatoes (fun fact: store them in the fridge vegetable drawer and they last longer) and decided to go from there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to us being sick, I adjusted the taco flavoring on the ground beef to be milder than we usually prefer, but you can always add in a half teaspoon of cayenne pepper or some chopped jalapeno to bring it up a notch. <\/p>\n\n\n
