Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my husbands favorites, and since it was a gloomy Sunday yesterday I decided I would make it. Nothing better than comfort food in the winter!
If you want the soup to be more low fat, just don’t put the fixings on top (tortilla chips, cheese, avocado, sour cream)! In this picture I did add plain Greek yogurt to my soup which tones down how spiciness of the soup.

Recipe Notes
I added plain Greek yogurt to mine and it helps with the spiciness of the soup and is healthier than sour cream.
