Spicy Tortilla Soup!

As it begins to get cooler outside, this tasty soup will warm you up! The Spicy Tortilla Soup is a great fall and winter recipe to add to your weekly menu. Don’t let the word “spicy” in the title scare you away from this recipe because it can be prepared to fit your families taste buds. The recipe calls for two ingredients – salsa and chili powder that can add a little kick of “spicy” to the soup, but if you don’t want any “spicy” use a mild salsa and omit the chili powder for a not so spicy (but still delicious!) tortilla soup.

I also have to tell you, this recipe is a great recipe to use if you want to increase your vegetable consumption. While the basic recipe does not call for a variety of vegetables, feel free to be creative and add what you have on hand. In my home, we typically add cooked black beans, corn and peppers for added color and variety. Zucchini, avocado, and cilantro could also be great additions.

Enjoy!
