Chicken Tortilla Soup

Posted on

This Chicken Tortilla Soup comes directly from our Executive Chef. Inspired by his time spent in the Arizona and Southern California area, this soup will warm you up with its flavorful spices and hearty texture during these cold, winter months. This is one of Chef’s personal favorites, as it is healthy and can easily be modified to be a great vegetarian soup.
