Tortilla Soup

You can tell it's obviously getting a little chilly here in sunny southern California (what?! 65 degrees IS chilly) because I keep busting out the soup recipes. This tortilla soup is a perfect solution if you don't feel like a heavy chili but are still craving something warm. Plus, this takes about 3 seconds to make and keeps very well. The sister gives this 5 stars.

Side note: This isn't super spicy so if you want some heat you can use hot diced green chilies or throw in some red pepper flakes. Also, the world is your oyster when it comes to toppings....green onions, cheese, avocados, sour cream, what have you.

Tortilla Soup

Serves 4-6, depending on your serving size

Ingredients:

1 cup diced red onion

1.25 lbs ground lean turkey breast

4 cups chicken stock (I use lower sodium)

1 tsp mined garlic

1 (4oz) can diced mild green chiles

3/4 cup tomato puree

Directions:

In a large pot over medium-high heat sprayed with cooking spray, add onions and ground turkey. As turkey browns, move mixture around to break the turkey into very small pieces.

Once turkey is just cooked through, add chicken stock, garlic, chiles and tomato puree.Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
