Ashley’s Tortilla Soup

This ridiculously easy and ridiculously delish recipe is one that is constantly lost, sought, and occasionally found. Finally posting it here for the good of the order! Perfect hearty soup for a chilly day.

Chicken
1 packet of taco seasoning
Medium can of salsa
1 large bottle of Spicy V8
Optional, to taste - onions, frozen corn, black beans

Heat V8, about 3 cups water, and salsa in large pot.

While V8 base warms, sauté chicken in taco seasoning. Add onions if desired.

Add seasoned chicken, corn, and beans to V8 base. Simmer for 15-30 minutes.

Serve with cheese, tortilla chips, and sour cream.

So You Had a Bad Day, You Have a Cold, and It’s Winter Soup

The name of this recipe is a work in progress (in case you couldn’t tell), and the whole concept is rather flexible, but it is a good base to play around with if you need to clear your sinuses out. Dedicated to Sarah, to inspired this creation.

In large pot, combine over medium high heat:

1 box chicken broth
2 cups water
1 T dried oregano
1 T dried basil
Dash of thyme
2 T cayenne pepper (because we’re tough like that)
2 T red Tabasco sauce

Combine the above and bring to a boil. Wusses should cut down those last two ingredients by half (at least). Bring down to medium heat and add:

1 can white beans, drained
1 can tomatoes, drained and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves garlic, pressed

Simmer at least 10 minutes. About 10 minutes before serving, turn up heat to bring to boil, add one package of dry tortellini, and cover. Check tortellini to make sure they are cooked through before serving.
