My girlfriend, Deb is very generous with her recipes. ย She's aย reallyย good cook, she loves to entertain, and loves cook for her friends and family. ย God bless her! ย She gets together with her daughters and girl friends a couple times a month and cooks up a storm for the up coming week or two.
They make things they canย freeze and pull out to make dinner easy. They get the tunes cranked up, wine is poured, they chat and laugh. ย When the work is done, they go for a boat ride or make a bonfire if the lake is frozen. ย Brilliant!!! ย
I need to ask if I can join themโฆ hmmm. ย Yeah, maybe this Sunday we can make a big vat of Chicken Tortilla Soup (which freezes oh so nicely!)

I've been searching for an easy yet delicious Chicken tortilla soup for my Colombian boyfriend. I also have a strong love of the spice so I wanted something that I could really customize and this soup was exactly that. Not only did everything come together so perfectly, but the next day it tasted even more sublime. While cooking, it tasted very bland, but I had to trust the process, I realized I had completely forgotten about the lime and cilantro at the end that really made all the flavors come together. I so excited to make this again the night he returns. Definitely the best chicken tortilla soup I've ever had and I can't believe I now know how to make it from scratch ๐ฒ ๐ thankyou Madalaine!
