Zesty Tortilla Soup

I have another great tortilla soup recipe for you here from Taste of Home! It must be this time of year...I'm normally not a huge soup person, but I love it when it is cold outside! Don't be intimidated by the list of ingredienets...this is SUPER EASY and delicious!!

Zesty Tortilla Soup

1 medium onion, chopped

2 tablespoons canola oil

2 garlic cloves, minced

2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes (I used chicken instead)

2 cups water

1 can (14-1/2 ounces) stewed tomatoes

1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies, undrained

1 can (10 3/4 ounces) condensed tomato soup, undiluted

1 can (10 1/2 ounces) beef broth

1 can (10 1/2 ounces) chicken broth

1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning

1/2 teaspoon hot pepper sauce

10 corn tortillas (6 inches)

Shredded cheddar cheese, sour cream, avacado, and cilantro, optional

In a Dutch oven, saute onion in oil until tender. Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer. Stir in the next 13 ingredients; bring to boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until beef (or chicken) is tender.

Tear tortillas into bite-size pieces; add to soup. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 minutes; let stand for 5 minutes. Garnish individual servings as desired.

DELISH!! I loved this! Enjoy! :)
