Tortilla Soup

Recipe and Styling by Paula Bowman

Corn tortillas bake up golden and crispy, and are a terrific garnish for this Mexican inspired soup. Tortillas can be placed in soup without baking for a softer, noodle-like consistency. For a shortcut, look for bags of crispy tortillas strips in the aisle of larger supermarkets where you would find croutons, or use crumbled tortilla chips.
