Tortilla Soup

I <3 Mexican food!!! I had this tortilla soup waiting in the freezer from a couple months ago. Still good : ) Every time I make tortilla soup, it's just a little different, but I love that about it. This recipe is very "free-hand" and it seems to work better if you taste it as you go and adjust accordingly.

 

Recipe:

Chicken Broth

V8 Tomato Juice (use a small can)

Lime Juice

Garlic Salt 

Salt

Cumin

Turmeric

Cilantro

Chili Powder

Red Cayenne Pepper

Frozen Mixed Veggies (find one with corn and beans)

Salsa

Diced Onion

Diced Tomato

-Heat liquid ingredients in stock pot. Add Spices and adjust to taste.

-Bring to a boil, then turn down to a simmer.

-Add vegetables, and cover for 15-20 min. on medium heat.

-Sometimes I add rice or chicken, and you will probably need to add extra water as a lot of it cooks off.

*Add Shredded cheese, green onions, and tortilla strips to the top of the soup and serve with sour cream

*To make tortilla strips, slice flour tortillas, spray with cooking spray, and toast at 350º for 10 minutes or until crispy and lightly browned
