Some Kind of Soup

You know when you come back from a long trip, and there's basically nothing in the fridge/freezer or pantry?  Yeah, that was my situation last night.  I found a pound of ground beef, a large can of diced tomatoes, and a can each of cut green beans and corn...oh, and there was plenty of beef broth.  SO, I made soup...without a recipe...without a real plan.  Fortunately, it turned out REALLY good.  Unfortunately, I will probably never be able to repeat it.  I can tell you what I put in it (ground black pepper, crushed red pepper, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, cinnamon, and brown sugar), but I have know I idea how much of any of it went in.  And, looking at the list of random things that went in, I think it's almost miraculous the soup was even edible, let alone fantastic.  The cornbread is just a box of Jiffy with an egg and buttermilk.  I highly recommend using buttermilk instead of regular...it's just better...tastier. 



Apologies for slacking on the updating!  I have been doing some baking for the holidays, so I will hopefully be posting a lot soon!
