This is a tasty soup that is similar to chili but lighter. Perfect for summer? Absolutely.
I call it tortilla soup, though I don’t usually put tortillas in it, because I don’t like soggy tortilla bits in my soup. The recipe started out as a legit tortilla soup, so I still call it that.

My own personal food pyramid would consist of soup, cheese, and chocolate. Imagine my horror when I first met Mr. Smarmy, and he declared that he didn’t like soup. HOW CAN YOU NOT LIKE SOUP?!

These are not your traditional slathered-in-red-sauce enchiladas. They’re better.
When I first found this recipe and decided to try it, I thought the sauce sounded too simple. Milk, chicken broth, peppers, and spinach? Isn’t that going to be bland? Do I even like corn tortillas? As it turns out, this is one

I made the full recipe shown below and between the two of us, Mr. Smarmy ate all of it in one day. That’s how awesome it is.
Making the wontons is a little time consuming, but it isn’t difficult. Plus, you’re making a TON.
Mmmm… soup!
I used an Emeril recipe as a guide,
