Think Outside the Tortilla
As far as winter soups go, this recipe is all the rave. Out of the tortilla and into a hot bowl, this Mexican-style rice soup is just as cheesy, savory, and filling as your favorite enchiladas. With chicken broth, whole grain brown rice, roasted chicken, and your favorite chunky tomato sauce– this recipe is fast, easy-to-make, and one of our go-to winter comfort foods.
Crunch time is a thing of the past with this soup. Aside from its notably tasty appearance, this recipe is also a fast and easy fix to the last-minute, weeknight dinner.

How could a recipe be that easy, you ask? Well, it’s all in the ingredients, which are so full of flavor themselves, there’s not much else you could do. All you’ll need is 10 ounces, or one can, of mild red enchilada sauce, shredded rotisserie chicken, chicken stock, and a jar of your go-to garden vegetable pasta sauce.
