Oh my Gosh! How easy is Tortilla Soup?

I

do

believe

that everyone

that reads my blog

loves to

cook

and

bake

as much as I do

...

I figure

what the heck!

Maybe

all you foodies

have

forgotten

that

Tortilla Soup

has to

one

of the easiest

dinners

when

you have

no time

but do have

torts

and leftover

pork

or

chicken

or

beef

or

turkey

or veggies!

Fry up

some tortilla strips

I cut up a red onion and a few jalapenos from our garden

and after I took out the

crispy fried torts

I added the onions and chiles

to the pan

and sauteed them

until soft

I cut up a few tomatoes

from our garden

and added

them to the onion mixture

I added

leftover

veggie broth

and chicken broth

to the

onion mixture

(maybe 5 cups

or so)

We had leftover

grilled port tenderloin

(yum)

so I cut it up

and threw it in the soup

I tossed in chipotle,

garlic,

chile powder

salt and pepper

and a zucchini from our garden

and the

soup

simmered

for

oh,

hmm

about an hour

to serve

toss some of the fried torts

in your bowl

pour the soup

on the

torts

add some cheese

lime

more jalapeno

(if you dare)

So

yummy!

I wish I had had

an avocado

and sour cream

to toss and swirl

on top

It was still gooood.
