Mexican Pasta and Kale Soup

I just threw this together the other day and everyone loved it. I was told to BE SURE to write out how I made it. (They know me- and if it isn't typed up, it isn't remembered! ;) 

1 quart of broth

1 quart of home-canned tomatoes, pureed

1 pack of taco seasoning (or homemade)

 2 cups cooked ground beef

1 bell pepper & 1 large onion chopped (cook with the ground beef)

1 T chili powder

2 t cumin

1 t garlic powder

1/2 oregano 

1 bay leaf

2 cups elbow macaroni

1 bundle of kale, chopped

Tapatio sauce

Brown meat with the onion and pepper. Drain. Add liquids and seasonings.

Bring liquids, seasonings, and meat to a simmer. Add kale and simmer for about 5 minutes. 

Add pasta and simmer, covered for 8 to 10 more minutes. 

Serve with Tapatio and cornbread.
