For the last few years, I've been feeding my college ass on a very limited budget -- both monetarily and time-wise. One of the ways I've countered this is with my taco soup, an easy throw-it-all-together dish that my friends, family, and I have enjoyed time and again.

These are the days
The ones we hold close-
Not for their weight,
But for, I don't know.
