I love soup! Soup is so flavorful with each recipe offering unique, complex and often very simple cooking methods. I developed this Mixed Up Tortilla Soup recipe after I purchased my Vitamix years ago and have tweaked a bit from time to time.  If you don’t own a Vitamix (I highly suggest) you can use an electric blender. One of the fabulous features on the Vitamix is a setting for hot soup. As the ingredients process, the mixture heats and it’s ready to eat after processing.  Of course, you can warm your creation stovetop or microwave, but I love this simple feature. Enjoy!!

Kitchen Tips

~I often double or triple this recipe to have throughout the week. 

~If using a Vitamix, you’ll know the recipe is ready when you see steam rising from the vented lid. 

~Top with rotisserie chicken or cooked and cubed chicken breast.
