Tortilla Soup
I have found that I am a huge fan of soups. Which is probably due to the fact that I can make a batch of soup at the beginning of the week and it usually will last for the rest of the week for lunches at work or for dinner a couple nights as well. Most of the soups I have tried have all been fairly simple ones, that involve throwing a bunch of ingredients into my crock pot and letting it do its thing overnight. This one has a little bit more than just throwing everything together, but it is also fairly simple.
I got this recipe from my friend Annie’s blog, Annie’s Cooking Lab (which you should all check out!) and made a simple modification the second time I made this. The first time I just kept it the same, but the second time I added 1 pound of ground turkey that I browned before hand and just placed it in with everything else. This step is completely optional if going for the vegetarian route, but I loved the addition to this already hearty soup. I also used one can of original Ro-Tel and one can of Mild and found that the combination was the just right amount of heat for me!

I’m glad you liked it! I love eating soup leftovers too, I just finished off the last of my Broccoli Cheddar soup which I LOVED!
