Tomato Tortilla Soup
This Tomato Tortilla Soup is a quick and easy dish that is not just gluten-free but vegetarian, too. It’s full of flavor and is wonderful served for lunch with some chips and guacamole on the side. It’s almost like tortilla soup and tomato soup got together and decided to have a lunch date – I think you’ll want to be invited to this date.
The beauty about this soup is that it’s a great way to use up leftover tortilla chips, which you might have to worry about soon if you’re having a Super Bowl party. I can’t be the only one who buys too many chips and ends up with leftovers, right? For this recipe, I used Xochitl tortilla chips.
Top this soup with fresh cilantro, sour cream, lime wedges and more chips to really complete the meal.
