CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

Always a family favorite around here, this chicken tortilla soup recipe is one of the best and is so easy using mainly freeze-dried foods!

Salt to taste
1/8 tsp hot sauce (optional)

Corn tortilla strips (garnish)
Sour cream (garnish)

Directions: Add about 1/2 cup of water to the bowl of chicken and set aside. Heat avocado oil and melt butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, bell pepper, corn.

Add the rest of the water and bring to a boil. Remove a few cups of the soup and blend in the blender or with an immersion blender and when blended, pour back into the pot.
