NEW! Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup
|
Hey Reader! Just popping in to share a cozy, nourishing, flavorful seasonal soup recipe to get you through the rest of Jan & Feb - an easy chicken tortilla soup! This soup has gotten us through some below-zero days, busy weeknights, and sick days so far this year, and I am still totally here for it. Kale is in season, so we're throwing in a few handfuls at the end to make this a truly veggie-packed meal that's hearty and filling. Real quick, we MUST talk about the tortilla strips. OMG. Who even knew that simply pan frying corn tortilla strips in a bit of olive oil and salt is like eating fresh restaurant tortilla chips but at your own house?! They're certainly a game changer for this tortilla soup, and also might be my new fave snack. We like to serve them on the side so you can pile them on to your individual bowl and experience that salty crunch on top before they fully soak into the soup. YUM. This soup is gluten free and can easily be made vegetarian (or vegan!) by adding an extra 1-2 cans of black beans or pinto beans, and using veggie broth instead of chicken broth.
I hope you enjoy! xo, Tera *Eat Local Tip! With kale in season, you might be able to find some at your local co-op, farmers market, or grocery store. Eating what's in season locally (when you can) helps you get the most nutrient-dense produce, plus it saves on carbon emissions and reduces single use plastic packaging. Yay! |

Hey Reader, When summer starts, I feel like I enter this beautiful season of less structured dinners. Think Friday summer night vibes, with refreshing drinks & extra good snacks and more of a flowy, low-effort evening. Maybe friends are stopping by, or maybe it's just your fam. On these types of nights, if dinner happens, it happens. But also... if we just ate a whole bunch of crostini topped with thick layers of whipped goat cheese and pickled strawberries, it'd be easy and we'd be quite...
