EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Salsa verde is "green salsa," which is made from tomatillos, green chiles and cilantro. It can be found in the Mexican section of supermarkets.

The tortilla pieces will dissolve during cooking, adding flavor and some thickening to the soup.

This soup has great flavor and was really easy to make. I forgot to buy salsa verde so I just put in some regular salsa. I also forgot to add the tomatoes at the end. But it still tastes great. I just sprinkle a little shredded cheese on the top after I heat up. Great as leftovers.

This is great! My husband kept telling me how great it is and that this recipe is a "keeper". I did use navy beans and canned tomatoes as suggested by other reviewers.
