| Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup |
A man of soup, The Husband enjoys a nice brothy bowl on occasion. I made a batch of Spicy Chicken Tortilla Soup for him to take to work for lunch and clear out his sinuses. I used chipolte in adobe peppers for the heat, and it was spicy enough to make No Thank You Boy's eyes water. My Oldest is not a lover of spicy foods and almost ate a big bowl of soup after school. Not to worry, near fiery catastrophe averted.
Frig full of Tupperware = Happy Husband.
