I love to make a huge pot of soup and have lunch and dinner for a few days.
Many people get in the habit of having to have different meals for dinner every night, but I have gotten my family out of that habit. I often will double a meal and we may have it two nights in a row. It is so much easier for me do do this as a busy mom.
When I made this soup I actually doubled it, it turns out very well.
This, slightly sweet (from the corn), Chicken Tortilla Soup is really delicious and hardy. It includes black beans, veggies and a little Masa to thicken it up a bit (and it gives a nice flavor).
It’s also perfect for cold or cool night.
Let me know if you give this healthy crockpot chicken tortilla soup a try and if your family enjoys it!
