Chickpea Tortilla Soup

October is National Cookbook Month! I know that there are a lot of digital ways to get recipes out there nowadays, but I still love the feeling of sitting with a cookbook and paging through to find new dishes to try. 

 

This Chickpea Tortilla Soup by Julie P. has been tempting me from the cover of Taste of Home's One Pot Favorites for months and since we've been in a nice cool stretch of weather I put it on the menu. 

There's over 500 dutch oven, sheet pan, instant pot and slow cooker recipes included, and as you can see by the sticky notes, I've got a bunch more I can't wait to try!

 

The key to this one is prep work.  I worked from front to back of the cutting board, chopping the onion and tomatoes, then the jalapenos.  I minced the garlic onto the board and then measured out the corn. When it came time to add things to the pot a simple sweep of the knife was all it took. 

I used white pre-rinsed quinoa and chicken broth because it's what I always have on hand. I also swapped out the cilantro for parsley because I have the "tastes like soap" gene.   

I had picked up an avocado as a topper but it went from not ripe to overripe by the time I got the soup on the menu.  Instead I used some crumbled tortilla chips, a few squeezes of fresh lime juice, and some more diced jalapeno.  If you had leftover cooked chicken that would be great tossed in too. 

After seeing what the other bloggers are sharing I have a feeling my bookshelf is going to get a little more crowded, go check out their picks using the links down below! What's your favorite cookbook?
