Yes, I'm actually making a blog post!

Well, as we all know, I'm quite the blogging slacker. Basically, I have pictures from our trip a couple weeks ago to Arches National Park, and I definitely need to put them up. I haven't even put them on facebook yet!

Today was a special day, however, so I decided I would blog about it. I created a delicious soup, and though I didn't measure a single thing, I'm going to try and guess how much of every ingredient I used so that perhaps I (or others) may recreate it.

• 5 cups water
• 3-4 large potatoes, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 yellow onion, chopped
• 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 can whole green chiles, diced
• 1 can beans, rinsed (I used pinto)
• 1 tbsp chicken bouillon
• 1 tbsp ground cumin
• 2 bay leaves
• pepper
• crushed red pepper (to taste)
• sour cream
• cheddar cheese
• lime

Bring water to a boil. Add potatoes and onion to water, boil for 5-7 minutes. Add green chiles, garlic, bouillon, cumin, bay leaves, and pepper. Boil until potatoes are almost completely cooked, add beans.  Boil until potatoes are completely cooked and remove from heat. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, cheddar cheese to your liking, and garnish with lime juice (after I squeezed the juice out of my quarter of a lime, I put the whole thing in).

I reckon this recipe would be amazing with some shredded chicken, but I wasn't in the mood for chicken so I didn't add it. This was sooooo good though! I'm planning on eating some more after my meeting tonight =)
