Fall is officially here!! That also means that “Soup Season” is just around the corner. Yes, “Soup Season” is an official season in our home and makes me so incredibly happy. My husband teases me that I would make and eat soup all year long if he would let me. There’s just something about the way that a warm meal makes you feel, and the comfort it brings to your soul! I’ll warn you now, I just may be sharing a few soup recipes on this site.
This Chicken Tortilla Soup is a soup that my husband loves and my kids like anything that they can eat with chips. You can control the amount of spice you add to this soup and tone it down a bit by adding a little sour cream, when ready to serve. Just remember to only add the cheese and sour cream to each dish, as the dairy does not reheat well in leftovers.
