Tortilla Soup

gf
Soup and Chili
You can cook this on the stove or in a crockpot.  Directions for both are included!  If you want to kick the spicy up a notch, throw in a jar of salsa!  The soup, itself, is gluten free.  It's the torn flour tortillas that you add to your individual soup bowl that have the gluten.  To remedy that, just use corn tortillas that contain no wheat additives!
