Tip #12: Make it up

Don't know what to make for dinner? Make up your own recipe. Soups are easy peasy!

I stood in my kitchen not knowing what to make for lunch tomorrow when I decided to make a soup. Just started grabbing food I had on my counter, fridge, freezer & pantry. Here's what I made. I'll call it...Anything-You-Have Mexican Soup.
