Tortilla soup has become a staple for Tex Mex restaurants. It is a great way to begin a meal, or to serve as a main dish with the addition of rice and meat. The tortilla soup at Qdoba has earned a reputation for being a perfect fit for a Craft 2 combination, the foundation of our Mexican Gumbo, or as a belly-warming midday meal.

Very yummy! I am a wimp about heat, so omitted the jalapeno and there was still plenty of nice heat from the poblano. I oven fire-roasted my own roma tomatoes from our garden. I might consider adding some shredded chicken or those pre-cooked chicken strips to make it more of a main dish soup.
