This soup is so hearty, comforting and easy to make. In fact, I made this last night at the last minute because I was craving some warm soup since is has been raining like cats and dogs here in Phoenix. I’m actually wearing sweats and the temp is in the low 50’s. Chilly for us living in the valley of the Sun.

I like this soup because it is so versatile and can be healthy or even add some yummy fixins like cheese and bacon to change it up a bit.

There are many things that I am working on attaining.  A long list of things; be it in the kitchen or in life, things I want or am striving to learn or do better.  But there is one thing that I feel I excel in, not that I don’t continue to expand and evolve and learn anew anytime that I am able.  This one thing is pasta.

Breakfast, lunch or dinner, in the early rays of a sun lit afternoon or the wee hours of the night at three am; I can whip up a plate of mouth-watering pasta.  As long as I have a box of noodles the possibilities are endless.  It has nothing to do with what I have in the cupboard or the fridge.  In fact, I take it as challenge the barer the kitchen is!  My secret is not only in the simplicity of the dish, but also the quality of the ingredients.  I mean come on, let’s be honest, if you are making a dish with three ingredients, you can’t skimp on the quality of what you use!

I am in the thick of the summer here in Phoenix. We technically have at least three more months of mega hot days. So I am constantly looking for lunch ideas that I can make quick, easy, perfect for a hot day. I hate going out in the day just to get something to eat when it is so hot out.

So, I have been making some salads and sandwiches at home. I have been craving some burritos lately, but then I thought I should just make a burrito bowl. I can have my salad and burrito in one bowl.
