My husband, the soup man he is, texted me from his work to tell me it was national soup day - hint if I ever heard one. I am just starting to learn how to make soup. It was a cold day & I was working from home, soup in the crock sounded good. I was looking through the internet and found a tortilla soup thought what a good idea. I dug through my cupboard and freezer this is what I came up with. Much to my surprise it was tasty and my hubby and daughter loved it. I made enough probably for at least 6 people however we ate the whole crock ourselves.

    Add all the remaining ingredients expect the tortillas. I can not tolerate hot anymore plus my daughter does not like the spicy hot. I used mild salsa you can turn up the heat by adding more hot sauce, chili powder or use hot salsa. Cook on high 3-4 hours, I took the lid off the last hour stirred it and let it cook uncovered to thicken a bit.
  • 3
    Add crushed tortillas to a bowl ladle soup over the tortilla. Enjoy
