Victory Chicken and Bean Tortilla Soup is a warm bowl of goodness to enjoy while watching your favorite sports team play. Thus it is named Victory Chicken and Bean Tortilla Soup for good luck! It’s an easy and delicious bowl of soup and quite satisfying even though it is healthy!
I’m thinking of Victory in more than one way though. It’s that time of year when everyone is thinking about eating healthy and shedding those extra pounds gained over the holidays. Soup, I believe is the answer to shedding those extra pounds and in a healthy and delicious way. Why deprive yourself by doing a detox when you can incorporate a soup like this to help you shed weight and enjoy it at the same time.
Try this soup this month and it will make your tummy happy as well as your waistline. I originally made this soup for a big football game. It would be good soup to serve for the upcoming Superbowl game also.
Now my granddaughter loves soup and she will certainly gobble it down but my grandson is not big on eating soup but he can’t resist the combination of cheese, sour cream and tortillas. Either way it’s delicious but healthier without the cheese and sour cream. The tortillas add a crunch and give the soup an authentic tex-mex flavor and are necessary but can be added in small quantities.
ALL READY FOR THE GAME!!!
WITHOUT CHEESE AND SOUR CREAM BUT EQUALLY AS DELICIOUS!
HEALTHY GOODNESS JUST OOZES FROM THE BOWL!
