I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. It's so flavorful and easy to make. I usually add a bit of corn and black beans to bulk it up.

This is my go-to recipe for tortilla soup. It's easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. I like to top mine with avocado, sour cream, and cilantro.

I just made this soup last night and it was delicious! I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, and added some diced jalapeños for a little extra spice. It was a hit with my family!
