Notes
- Be sure to let your tortilla soup fully cool, then transfer to a shallow, airtight container. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- The tortilla strips can be placed in a bag with the air pushed out and stored for up to 3 days in the cupboard!
- To freeze, let the tortilla soup cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and store in the freezer for 4-6 months.
- When ready to eat, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating on the stove. Prepare all the garnishes when ready to serve.
