Onions, carrots, celery. Pork Taco Mix, yams, black beans, chili powder, Italian seasoning, milk.
Often we get ingredients that are meant for restaurants. In this case, a bag of minced pork with taco seasoning. One could make a fine taco out this, but instead my partner Michele made a very tasty soup. I like the addition of yams. Huzzah!

Lots of lime juice. A lip-smacking amount.
“Lime tree very pretty and the lime flower is so sweet. But the fruit of the poor lime is impossible to eat”. Unsure what Peter Paul and Mary were thinking. Oh wait, they were talking about a lemon. Bang on for lime!
