It's soup weather. It's not soup weather. No wait, it's soup weather again. Mother Nature needs to calm down and stick with one season. I eat soup year round, but more so when there's a nip in the air.  After a few glorious weeks of heat, we're back to sweater weather and that means that I'm pulling out my soup pot more often these days. I had some avocados that were getting a little too ripe earlier this week and knew that I needed to find a recipe to use them in pronto. My search led me to this Tomato Tortilla Soup recipe from Golden Blossom Honey.

 

Is it too early to be thinking about Cinco de Mayo? Not in the Mahoney household since Mexican food is life for our family. If you're like us, you'll already be planning or pinning to your fiesta board in preparation for the upcoming holiday, and this recipe needs to be right up there with the rest of them. I'll admit, I wasn't quite sold on this recipe at first since I've always been more of a taco soup kind of girl, but once you add in the toppings, I think I just might like this recipe more. If you want to keep the soup meat-free, black beans are an excellent substitution for the chicken. The only change I would make to this recipe is by adding in more than just 3 of the fried tortilla strips at the end. It gives it an extra boost of texture, plus, who doesn't love fried tortilla strips hot out of the pan!?
