Makes 4 servings


Ingredients:

For the Whole 30 Chicken Tortilla(less) Soup:

  • 1 large onion, chopped

  • 2 cloves minced garlic

  • 1 tbsp tomato paste

  • ½ tsp Ancho Chili Powder (or regular chili powder)

  • ½ tsp cumin*

  • 1 can whole30 compliant fire roasted tomatoes (I like the ones from Thrive Market)
