Vegetarian Tortilla Soup Recipe #38074
A great soup for lunch from epicurious.com. I sometimes add more spices, and sometimes I also create a garnish by frying corn tortilla strips with some non-stick cooking spray. You may top with fat-free or lowfat sour cream, and cilantro.
Sometimes I also add some shredded muenster or other shreddable cheese on top. Enjoy!
