As a Texan living in Ontario, I often miss the “tastes of home.” An easy meal, with readily available ingredients, that satisfies in a pinch is: Tortilla Soup. This is a fiber packed meal, a meal with complete proteins, and can be prepared vegan/vegetarian/or with chicken, to your preference. I will provide my favourite crockpot recipe with variations to make it your own. Enjoy! (Makes 1 large crockpot of soup, aprox 16 1c servings for my home)
