It's a three-ingredient, $4, 5-minute tortilla soup that is not lacking in flavor - only the fuss of the mad dash dinner preparation. Truth be told, I might even dare to call it healthful.
The ingredients: 4 cups broth (chicken or vegetable), 1 pint chunky salsa and 2 cups protein of choice (black beans or chicken, preferably leftover rotisserie).
Optional: Double protein, using both chicken and beans, and add some corn for a total of five ingredients. Only if you have them on hand.
Method: Add all ingredients to a pot, bring to a boil and reduce heat. Simmer for 5 minutes or longer, as desired.
Accompaniments: Tortilla chips, sliced avocado, brown rice or roasted vegetable quesadillas as we did. Be careful not to go overboard or you will negate ease plus thriftiness of soup.
While I have made many a tortilla soup, I am sure this recipe - if you can call it that - will quickly make it into the rotation. Not only was it the ease of preparation, but it was a great way for me to use the salsa I canned earlier this fall and not kill the family via botulism.
A win on all accounts.
Not giving your family botulism is always a good thing. Tagging this post to try this recipe later. It's very similar to my which chili recipe that has about 5 ingredients.
