Tortilla soup is perfect for fall and winter. It is full of protein and veggies. It is warm and full of flavor. I make this soup once a week. It is so quick to prepare and is perfect for a hearty lunch or dinner. You can top it with shredded cheese, sour cream , cilantro and chopped avocado, or just eat it as is. If you are looking for a little spice, or a good comfort food dish, this is perfect!
