Taco Soup
SOURCE: Marsha Eblen (who led Henderson County Tourism at the time and was the 2nd person to hire me as a freelance graphic designer when I landed there from FL.)
Marsha made this for a crowd at Steve Martin’s house, maybe for a baby shower for Nic, or maybe when we were leaving Kentucky for Wisconsin. It has since been tweeked and shared across the country! Good with Aunt Lillibell’s cornbread and/or with a dollop of sour cream and grated cheddar.
