Mexican Soup

Filled with fresh vegetables and savory spices, this Mexican Soup is sure to please those gathered around your table. This Soup is great as-is, but if you’re looking to add more protein to the dish, simply add shredded cooked chicken, steak, or browned ground beef or turkey to the soup in step four. Or, serve this soup as a side-dish for Taco Tuesday!

Prep: 25 minutes | Cook: 40 minutes | Total: 60 to 65 minutes 

Yields: 6-8 servings
