Chicken Tortilla Soup
Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of those comfort foods I constantly crave during the winter months, even into spring. Tender chunks of chicken and spices simmer together, making the house smell heavenly. It just creates a homey feeling, you know? You can eat it plain for a healthy lunch or dinner, or go all out and add cheese, crispy chips, sour cream or avocado to elevate it from ordinary soup to outstanding supper in no time! My family likes a lot of spice, so I love to add a little extra chili powder, cumin and garlic in this tortilla soup. For extra heat you could toss in chopped jalapenos, cilantro, a dash of Tabasco sauce or peppers. Feel free to experiment and see what your family enjoys.
