Cookin' Librarian: Tortilla Soup...

About a month and a half ago I was trying to figure out what to make for dinner, and after searching through Pinterest forever I decided that I wanted to try my hand at tortilla soup. Unfortunately I didn't really care for any of the recipes I saw, so I thought I'd take the basic ingredients and add whatever the hell else I wanted and this is what I came up with...

• Flour Tortillas • Olive Oil • Chicken Broth • Heavy Cream • Onion • Avocado •

• Green Bell Pepper • Garlic • Lime • Tomatillos • Cilantro • Black Pepper • Taco Seasoning •

• Goya Adobo • Goya Sazonador Total • Goya Sazón • Cumin • Oregano • Bay Leaves •

• Goya Reduced Sodium Black Bean Soup • Goya Chick Peas • 

• Chi-Chi's Green Chilies • Muir Glen Organic Diced Fire Roasted Tomatoes •

• Del Monte Whole Kernel Corn • Herdez Salsa Verde • Cheese
