Sometimes, when the weather starts to get chillier, the only thing that can warm me up is soup! It warms you from the inside, out! I have a DEEP love of Cafe Zupas and their amazing soups here in Utah, but the closest one is over an hour away. Their Chicken Tortilla Soup is one of my absolute favorites. I added a little extra stuff to make it a bit more “hearty”, and it turned out delicious. Serve it up in these delicious homemade bread bowls, and you have yourself and amazing cold-day dinner! 🙂
