Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Salsa verde is "green salsa," which is made from tomatillos, green chiles and cilantro. It can be found in the Mexican section of supermarkets.
  • tip 2
    The tortilla pieces will dissolve during cooking, adding flavor and some thickening to the soup.
