This shortcut version of tortilla soup relies on plenty of spices and canned fire-roasted tomatoes for a kick. Red beans, corn and some diced avocado turn it into a hearty meal. Sure, traditional versions of this flavorful soup involve deep frying tortilla strips, but high-quality tortilla chips work just fine.
