This was Sunday's meal. It was really good. DH loved the flavor of the broth
in the bean soup. I liked it too. The Chile Macaroni was an idea I thought I
would place on the table next to it and it was really good too. I served the
soup, the macaroni and some guacamole (had 2 avocados going bad). Great
meal.
