I love finding new-to-me soup recipes. I have quite a few Mexican flavored soups we barrel through on a monthly basis so I tend to try and steer clear of those because how different can they really be?! But when I found this recipe and read that it included Masa and cheese, well, I was sold. Thick and hearty and full of flavor…a different flavor than any of the other Mexican soups we keep repeating. And it takes NO TIME to make!! Even better!
