Chicken Tortilla & Rice Soup

February 14, 2010 by Liza Graves

I love soup. Soups have always been, hands down, my favorite thing to cook. When I owned my cafe, my favorite thing each day was coming up with new soup recipes. With a winter that won’t stop, I thought I’d share my newest recipe. I’m sure someone can think of a better name, but I’ll just call it chicken tortilla and rice soup. It’s full of vegetables, fiber and protein, with no oil, added fat, wheat or dairy. Just the kind of thing to help the Spring Break shorts fit well! Enjoy!

  • 2 tablespoons Ancho chili powder
  • 2 tablespoons crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1.5 tsp cumin
