It’s soup season! Tortilla Soup or Mexican Chili is the perfect thing for these cold, rainy fall evenings, especially topped with Conebella Farm Sharp Cheddar. This recipe is so quick to make and so delicious! I love to make it for company since it’s easy to put together ahead of time. It’s also great for taking on vacation because it’s so easy to pack the canned goods since they can be transported without needing refrigeration.
Part of what makes this meal awesome is the toppings. You can load on the sour cream, cilantro, avocados, green onions and of course, Conebella Farm Sharp Cheddar. Our Sharp Cheddar is perfectly smooth and creamy…we could go on and on about how delicious it is, but don’t just take our word for it! It won first prize at the PA Farm Show!
