Chicken Tortilla Soup (with Bone Broth)
- Yield: 4 1x
Description
It’s the first day of Fall as I type this so it’s officially SOUP SEASON! This soup isn’t very “Fall-like”, but it sure is good! Plus, I made it with homemade chicken bone broth, which makes it that much better in terms of immune boosting potential!
I made mine extra spicy, but you can absolutely dial that down if you would like with less spice. Cilantro, bone broth, garlic, onions, tomatoes….such good micronutrients in here that support optimal health, especially as cold and flu season is staring us in the face!
The tortilla strips are optional. If you are following a low carb/ketogenic protocol, I would suggest using a low carb tortilla or just skipping them. It’s delicious with or without these!
