Instructions

    Cup of Yum

Notes

  • Cheese: Leave it out if necessary, or opt for a dairy-free version.
  • Seasonings. Make your own taco seasoning for the best flavor.
  • Prep-Ahead: Since the flavors will continue to get better over time, this is a great soup to make in advance. Just wait to add the tortilla chips and toppings until serving.
  • Storage: Leftover soup will last in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
  • Freezing: This recipe freezes extremely well. Seal in a freezer-safe container for up to 6 months.
  • Reheating: Warm in a pot on the stovetop over medium-low heat, or microwave, until heated through.
