Fall means soup time!

We love soup. Here is one zippy recipe Jackie gave me. Its got a different taste to it but I can't get enough of it. Plus, It is easy to make and pretty healthy too!

Tortilla Soup with Orange









1/4 c oil (to saute the veggies in)
1 medium onion, chopped fine
1 clove garlic, minced
4 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 cup chopped carrots
2 1/2 c. chicken broth
1 1/2 c. orange juice
1 (16 oz) jar salsa (Any kind, I like at least a medium hot)
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into pieces
Tortilla chips
Cilantro (opt.)
Shredded cheese (opt.)

Saute onion, garlic and celery in soup pot. Stir in broth, orange juice, salsa, and carrots. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until carrots are tender. Add uncooked chicken pieces and simmer uncovered, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, just until chicken is done. Try not to let it boil.

To serve, place chips in soup bowls. Ladle soup over chips. Can sprinkle with cheese and cilantro.

Don't you just love that sweet and tangy taste?

Do you have any good soup recipes you'd like to share with me?
