Chicken Tortilla Soup


Chicken tortilla soup has become tradition for halloween at our home. I love could eat mexican food everyday for lunch and dinner and never, ever get tired of it. We had it with the worlds best cornbread and honey butter. Click here for that recipe and if you still haven't tried it, I suggest you do so and soon!



Chicken Tortilla Soup


2 Tablespoons oil
1 small onion, diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
6 cups chicken broth
