My husband's been pleading with me to make tortilla soup. He says it's the best he's EVER had - couldn't stop making yummy noises every time he had some. He's a very picky eater, so that's saying a lot. I was apprehensive about combining the beef and chicken broths, but there's a very pleasing complexity of flavors, when combined with the other ingredients. I didn't have any onion, so I used about 1/3 cup of dry onion flakes (still browned in oil, as recipe calls for), and it turned out great - one less step and no tears, plus I'm all for having less dishes to wash! It makes a lot, and I thought I would have to freeze some, but it was gone in 2-3 days! I will definitely keep the ingredients in my pantry from now on. Aside from the chicken, everything else can be stored in the pantry until needed, if you use the dried onion flakes. I would imagine that you could probably even use a roasted rotisserie, if you wanted, to make it even easier. I used the broth from boiling the chicken to make a different soup. Great on a cold evening! I served it with reduced fat Mexican blend shredded cheese, crushed tortilla chips, and a dollop of reduced fat sour cream (no avocado). Very filling. Very yummy.
