DAIRY FREE HOMEMADE CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP

The weather has been pretty cool here in Miami, which makes it a great time to enjoy homemade soup. My husband does the cooking in my house. It all started after I had my third child where he wanted to help me out and he’s been cooking ever since. He loves it! He was one of those guys that cooked delicious meals while we were in college, so I knew early on he was a keeper. Ha ha! Anyway, let’s talk about this delicious dairy free homemade chicken tortilla soup he made for us last week. We loved it so much that we ended up having it for lunch and dinner a few days in a row! Sometimes my husband will make a variation of this soup and this time he left out the tortillas, so instead we added avocado for a healthier choice. Enjoy!
