It’s Cold! Bring on the Soup!

More leftovers+fresh produce wizardry. Thank heavens it’s cold enough to enjoy a nice steaming bowl of spicy soup.

Quick and Easy Tortilla Soup

Staples from the Pantry

  • 14 oz low-sodium beef broth
  • 14 oz low-sodium chicken broth
  • 14 oz stewed tomatoes
  • 14 oz Rotel
  • 14 oz tomato soup
  • 2 t. cumin

Fresh Produce

  • 2 small zucchini, chopped
  • 1 yellow squash, chopped
  • 2 t. chopped garlic
  • 1 bunch cilantro, roughly chopped

Leftovers

  • 1 lb. cooked chicken
  • 1 c. onions and bell peppers (I saved the fajita grilled vegetables from our party and used those. If you don’t have leftovers, you could chop a small onion and bell pepper)

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and let simmer for 30 minutes. Serve steaming hot, topped with a sprinkling of cheddar cheese and crushed tortilla chips.

As The Niece said: Amazingness!

    Why do you want to ruin an otherwise good bowl of soup with squash and zucchini? I just don't understand.

  2. I WILL feed you spinach.
