In my opinion, it’s never too hot for some of Tex-Mex’s finest… Tortilla Soup! Growing up, my mom would make some of the best chicken tortilla soup… so hearty and delicious! Think you know what I’m talking about… when you take the spoon to your lips, it just feels like a big, cozy hug.
I was craving some of that good-feeling soup this week, so decided to put my own twist on momma’s recipe… taking out the chicken (of course), but also adding some beans and hominy for that hearty texture and comfy flavor we crave.
And of course, I couldn’t miss out on this opportunity to introduce y’all to the newest member of The Veggie Girl team… meet Gunner! He is my precious, newly adopted goldendoodle, and my heart could not be happier. I’ve had him for a little over a month now, and he is growing like a wild weed! So you should be seeing more of him in posts coming soon! (for more photos of me, Gunner and some tasty treats, follow me on instagram @theveggiegirl) Until then, enjoy this warm, spicy taste of the South.
