    This sounds fabulous. We love soups at our house, so I'll have to give this one a try.

  2. This looks yummy, I think I will have to give this a try. We have a tried and true Chicken Tortilla soup, but this one is a little different. I put your blog in my sidebar last time you left a comment, and I even tried your "creamy meatballs" and linked over to your site. Thanks for stopping by my page. I have a FB page also if you would like to follow me there too.
