Smoky Chicken Tortilla Soup
Description
This dinner has been on repeat here all week! Even though it’s still 70 degrees in San Diego…it’s fall dang it and I’m making soup! Plus this recipe is super easy and can be made for as many people as you need. It freezes great and the leftovers are 👌🏻
Protip: Drain everything that’s canned! You don’t need all that extra water. Add your own liquid to have more control of your final flavor.
