Guess. What. I used to be so scared of making soup.

Until this year. I didn’t realize how EASY soups were!  For some reason when I thought to myself that I should make soup, I chickened out. I felt like there were sooo many ingredients and so many things that could go wrong with making soup. Finally one day I made my first ever soup. And it was SO. EASY.

So if you have also been scared of soup, please don’t be. I’m here to tell you that it is one of the most simple week night meals you can make.

I’m pretty sure I could eat this Chicken Tortilla Soup EVERY DAY. And I’m realllly not kidding. I love this soup so so so so much. And the toppings? Makes the soup FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC.
