Spring, summer, winter, autumn or just do not think you can beat a good cup or bowl of soup. But I do not eat chicken (something about growing up in a country surrounded by them, whew!) And most of the recipes for tortilla soup made with chicken. So today I will share with you my Ground Beef Tortilla Soup recipe. But for you chicken eaters, and yes, I know there are many, here is one for you too, chicken tortilla soup.
