One thing I loved growing up was chicken tortilla soup. I ate it all the time. It was so great with cheese and tortilla chips. It really brings me back to my childhood. But since we’ve started this vegan lifestyle chicken is out and we aren’t using cream. That’s how I ended up with this easy vegan tortilla soup with vegetables.
