Chicken Tortilla Soup
"Chicken tortilla soup is good for the soul and full of mouthwatering aromatics. An interesting fact about tortilla soup (also known as sopa azteca) is that no one really knows where it came from. Some sources say it originated in Mexico City, but there’s actually no evidence that — even as a classic Mexican dish — it started there. Because of its name sopa azteca, which means “soup of the Aztecs,” many assume this dish originated somewhere in central or southern Mexico, where the Aztecs originally settled. Chicken tortilla soup is rich in antioxidants from the tomatoes, olive oil, cilantro, avocado, onion, chili, and spices (are you drooling yet?). And we’ve boosted the nutritional value in this Mexican classic by adding our collagen-rich chicken bone broth, which compliments the list of traditional ingredients nicely. Although the ingredients list is a bit longer than our usual recipes, don’t fret: this recipe still takes minimal time to make if you already have shredded chicken breast on hand and yields 2 entree sized portions."
