When I was little we had some neighbors that lived across the street. They were stationed at Offutt Air force base, and had been stationed all over the world.
One thing I remember about the Mom was that she was a fabulous cook!
My Mom got this recipe for tortilla soup from her, and this is the tortilla soup that I grew up on.
I thought all tortilla soup tasted like this one, until I grew up and had the more
creamy based ones with chicken.
This is more of a spicy tomato based soup, seasoned with green chilies, chili powder and cumin.
It'll warm your bones right up!!
Perfect for Halloween, or a blustery Midwest day like today.
I made this as well as homemade chicken noodle, and broccoli cheese for Halloween night.
I will be having some leftover tortilla soup for lunch today, who wants to join me?
I am such a soup eater. I never get tired of it!
But the one thing about putting it on a blog, is that the photo never does it justice.
You'll just have to trust me on this, okay?
not your normal tortilla soup
