Soup Time!

Aaron and I made a delicious tortilla soup with pork...it's pretty perfect and easy to make, but forewarning, it will make you want fall weather.

Recipe from William-Sonoma Simple Suppers

Ingredients 
Roast Pork, 1 1/2 cups (9oz/280g) shredded
Corn oil, 2 tablespoons
Red onion, 1 small, chopped
Garlic, 2 large cloves, minced
Chipotle chiles in adobo, 1 tablespoon finely chopped
Chicken broth, 6 cups (48 fl oz/1.5 l)
Diced tomatoes, 1 can (14 1/2 oz/455g), with juice
Fresh cilantro (fresh coriander), 4 tablespoons (1/3 oz/10g) chopped
Queso fresco, 1/2 cup (2 oz/60g) crumbled
Avocado, 1 small, halved, pitted, peeled, and finely diced
Lime, 1, cut into wedges

Stir in the chile, broth, and tomatoes, then stir in the pork. Raise the heat to medium-high and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover partially, and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
