Notes
- Chef Notes:
- Make-Ahead: You can make this soup up to 2 days ahead of time. Be sure to keep the toppings separate.
- How to Store: Cover the soup, separate from the toppings, and keep in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Freeze the soup covered, separate from the toppings, for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator for 1 day before reheating.
- How to Reheat: Add the desired amount to a small saucepot and heat over low heat until hot. You may need to readjust the seasonings with salt and pepper.
- When making in the summertime, replace the canned tomatoes with fresh tomatoes.
- If you do not want to fry tortilla strips, feel free to use tortilla chips.
