Spicy Vegetarian Tortilla Soup

dana vento

Flavor-Bombed Spicy Vegetarian Tortilla Soup is just the right balance of spicy without being a lip-burning sensation!

So many soups just don't get a second nod from me, but tortilla soup is worth a few nods!

In reality, basic soup is never part of my daily lifestyle.

I love spiced-up foods, but I find ways to add more natural ingredients to get there!

It's Not About The Big Bowls

When I eat soup, I portion it.

Bigger is not better it is just a bloater!

So, remember that each and every time you scoop your soup!
