Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup

34




I made this soup on Saturday and I’ve been thinking about it ever since! It was so good. By far my favorite recipe from Fixate to date. Jacob helped me cook by chopping the carrots and celery while I got the other ingredients together. 



He loved it and asked if we could make it again before he was finished with his first bowl. 



Jacob and I had the leftovers for lunch on Sunday and I finished the rest at lunch on Monday. This is definitely going on the weekly rotation.
