Here’s another recipe a friend of mine posted on facebook this week, Cheesy Tortilla Soup. I can’t wait to try this, it looks fantastic. Nothing like a hot bowl of soup on a chilly winter day. I would pair this with tortilla chips, or possibly Mexican Cornbread. If you have a recipe you’d like to share with us, we might feature it on the blog.
