Spicy Buffalo Chicken Soup
Fall is right around the corner. One of my favorite things about Fall is eating soup. I love Soup Season. This simple 20 minute soup was so good.
Created this recipe around a brand new product that I found by Campbell’s Soup, Spicy Buffalo Style Cream of Chicken. Beware it is spicy. I topped it with some the NEW sargento red pepper cheese. Yum.
Only a few ingredients will make a delicious soup. Serve with crackers.
Lasagna Soup Bowls
There are some evenings we return home late. Whether is because of a Basketball game or Taekwondo. Some days I need a quick meal to serve my crew. I’m not big on fast food, so I try my best to prepare something hearty and tasty at home.
Who doesn’t love a good soup. I fancied up the soup by serving the soup in a bread bowl.
H-E-B has a delicious Lasagna soup with turkey sausage. This is so easy. Heat and serve in a garlic butter bowl.

I have a few versions of tartar sauce. This is my easiest one.

A new collaboration means a new recipe. Marukan Vinegar is “rice vinegar that plays an important role by adding bright, tangy notes, adding flavor to any dish, enhancing flavors of other ingredients as well as balancing sweet, salty, fatty and acidic components of a recipe”.

Oxtails can be fatty, so I decided to marinate the oxtails in the Marukan Vinegar that has no sodium or sugar. As well as marinate veggies to top the dish with.
