Brrrrrr, I am so cold today. When I woke up this morning, it was 8 degrees F outside…yup! You heard me…8 degrees F! The high was a “balmy” 15 degrees F! Oh, I can’t wait until spring gets here.
My husband had clients in today and I whipped up my super quick and easy Creamy Mexican Chicken Soup. If you like Mexican food, I bet you have everything you need in your pantry/refrigerator to make this for dinner tongiht. It is super easy and quick and let me tell you, everyone LOVES it! This soup will warm your bones and everyone will think you slaved for hours (ssshhhhh it will be our secret just how simple this is).
