Delicious and Easy Tortilla Soup Recipe

You may start from scratch with the cooked meat or make this with left overs if you wish. I have made it with left over chicken, once with left over beef and once with left over meat balls. It has never failed me.
So, start with your meat, add 1 can of broth that is appropriate with the meat, add about 6 cups of water and start cooking at a medium temperature.
Add diced onions, garlic, celery, yellow peppers (red or green peppers if preferred)
Add one can of stewed tomatoes preferably Mexican Stewed Tomatoes. Some people use Ro-tel instead if looking for a spicier soup.
Add approximately 1 to 2 cups of packaged noodles
Add one can of fiesta corn
It is also good to include green beans or peas or any of your favorite vegetables.
Pour in one package of dry taco sauce mix along with one package of dry ranch dressing mix and stir.
Sprinkle in your favorite soup spices. I like cilantro leaves.
Let it simmer for about an hour and there you are! It is so good!

The wonderful thing about his recipe is that one can omit something they dislike or add something they prefer and it is always turns out to be something unique and special everytime.
