Day Two Hundred Forty-Nine: Cold-Weather Simple Soup

I love to eat soup when the weather turns cool.  Unfortunately the weather hasn't been cooperating where I live.  So Friday I gave Mother Nature the proverbial finger and made Martha's Tortilla Soup with Black Beans.  It's a super-easy recipe as long as you can work a can-opener.  Fortunately deft can-opener-wielding is one of my talents, and this recipe came off without a hitch.

Don't skimp on the chili powder.  This soup needs every last bit.

Take that Mother Nature.
