Chicken Tortilla Soup is SO good. Smokey, spicy, rich, and full of chicken…SO good!!
Thing is…when I gave up grains over a year ago, I just didn’t want to give this soup up! I have tried different versions, and finally came up with one I adore and will make over and over…in fact, I already have!
It is thick like tortilla soup, and full of spices like tortilla soup, and so warming and nourishing…just like tortilla soup. Only one problem…no tortillas…so what do I call it?
How about Chicken NO Tortilla soup?? Let’s see if it sticks and starts a trend.
