WEEKNIGHT TURKEY TORTILLA SOUP

Weeknight Turkey Tortilla Soup image

This is now my family's most requested soup-so much so that they will make sure I have leftover turkey. You can spice up this soup and make it more hearty by adding smoked sausage or andouille and some Cajun seasoning to taste. -Gail Lucas, Olive Branch, Mississippi
