Salsa Soup

As our thoughts turn to Fall, we begin to think about soups and stews. We think this is a perfect soup to start the season. Our salsa soup is a nod to chips and salsa with a spicy chili lime flavor, tomatoes and cilantro. This soup comes together pretty quickly; if you use prepackaged ingredients, it is just a little bit of chopping on your part. 

Flavorful and healthy, this soup can be served as is or you can add cooked, shredded chicken and make it a meal. We used chicken broth but substitute vegetable stock for a vegetarian option.
