This tortilla soup is so comforting and fun, thanks to all the delicious toppings.
What I love most about this soup is how easy it is to prepare. It takes minimal effort and comes together in no time at all. All the ingredients you probably have in your pantry now! I love topping this soup with fresh delicious ingredients like avocado, fresh cilantro and an extra squeeze of lime juice.
The tortilla strips are lightly baked with minimal olive oil and a small pinch of sea salt. You can just top your soup with the baked tortilla chips but I’m obsessed with adding some to the bottom of the bowl and pouring the soup over the strips. They become slightly soft and add a wonderful texture to the soup. I also always use fire roasted tomatoes with this soup. It lends so much flavor and richness. If you don’t like the whole tomatoes in your soup I often put the tomatoes in a food processor and slightly pulse them to crush.
