Chicken & Black Bean Tortilla Soup
This soup has become a favorite of ours. It's so easy to make and super comforting. We like to garnish with avocado to add healthy fat to the dish, then add in some of our favorite hot sauce to give it more of a kick! Using homemade bone broth will also make this extra nourishing.
