  2. Add all ingredients to a stock pot or dutch oven and cook until meatballs are heated through, approx 30 mins.
  3. When you are ready to serve, half a lime and squeeze a few drops into each bowl to enhance the flavor of the soup.
  4. *Tortillas
  5. When you are ready to serve the soup, heat a frying pan to medium heat. Add a tortilla to the warmed pan and toast until brown on one side, flip over and toast the other side.

Notes

Add any of your favorite vegetables to this soup to kick it up a notch. During summer, it is fun to use fresh vegetables if they are available. When everything is finished cooking and I'm ready to serve, I love to toast up my tortillas and cut into strips. They add just the right amount of crunch. I also like adding a few slices of avocado and a bit of sour cream to help tame the heat a bit.

**warning** the Herdez Mexican cooking sauce is a bit on the spicy side, which I didn’t know before using it so if you have those who don’t like a lot of spice I suggest using a mild salsa instead.
