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
IMG_0272
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.

Nine months old!

Can you tell that these two scruff bags hate the doggie brush? I mean, Huckleberry screams like a baby before I even begin to brush - Phinn just takes off running and dives under our bed.
We are thinking maybe a dog whisperer might be helpful......
or maybe dreads!
