Now that the weather is cooler, soup has been on the menu. Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of our all time favorites. I found this recipe on All Recipes and didn't have to do anything to make it gluten free. The soup is dairy free, but then you can add sour cream and shredded cheese to make it extra good. We have used plain soy yogurt or plain coconut yogurt in place of the sour cream and that worked great.
The soup is good without the extra toppings, but with the toppings it's awesome. You can use any corn chips that you choose, I use corn tortilla chips. Don't skip the diced avocados either, that adds so much flavor.
(I really need to work on my food photography, but you get the general idea.)Chicken Tortilla Soup
