For lunch or dinner, prepare a large steaming pot of Zesty Tortilla Soup. Shortcuts, like using spicy V8 juice for the broth, keep this dish super simple.

  • 1 cup diced onions
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can diced tomatoes, not drained

  • 1 (14.5 oz.) can chicken broth
  • 1 tsp. cumin
  • 4 (8-inch) tortillas, cut into 1/2-inch strips
