Tortilla Soup is a great go-to meal to have in your recipe repertoire for a few reasons… It’s really healthy (just be mindful of the toppings you use). It’s easy to make and ready in about 30 minutes from start to finish. It doesn’t require a lot of chopping – just the onion, garlic, and jalapeno. Like any 1-pot meal, there is very little clean up.
