Kate personalizations: Please note – I added shredded Mexican cheese to each bowl before serving.
I also made extra tortilla strips! They are delicious and were in huge demand with each soup bowl refill!
Ive always wanted to make a version of tortilla soup. This recipe received RAVE reviews from my kids! They have asked for it again and again!
And, it’s super easy, so savory and amazingly delicious!
Enjoy!
