Chicken Tortilla Soup

 

 

 

 

My Favorite chicken tortilla soup comes from El Torito. I know it’s a chain and I feel like I should be more of a food snob, but I love the big chunks of chicken and avocado. I also love that it is broth based. Some tortilla soups are cream based and too rich to have regularly. Their soup is totally loaded with strips of tortillas, hence the name. I prefer to leave the tortilla strips out to cut the carbs, while still enjoying my soup. When I make it at home, I often load it up with tons of extra veggies like zucchini and bell peppers to make it extra healthy, but sometimes you just need a classic. I found these amazing Maca Chips at the grocery store that are made with Maca, Chia, and Quinoa. It’s such a delicious way to add in healthy grains!
