This Mexican tortilla soup is a game-day favorite. Diced tomatoes and chicken broth are simmered with crushed corn tortillas, garlic, cilantro and our organic cumin, chili powder and cayenne, then filled with shredded chicken and black beans. It's easy, hearty and has a real kick. Top it with cheese, sour cream and tortilla chips. Gluten-free, and dairy-free without the toppings.
