Low Carb Tortilla Soup

If I haven’t said it before today... I absolutely LOVE soup! As soon as the fall season hits I make soup every week, sometimes 2-3 times a week. Lol. Today I made Zuppa Toscano and this little gem pictured below. I’m proud to say this is completely my own creation and it turned out really good! It has great depth and flavor to it, without being bitter or too heavy. Definitely a different flavor profile for me, but I enjoyed the outcome and Lindsey loved it too!
