This is definitely one of our family’s all-time favourite soups ever. It really does taste like a taco in soup form, which is pretty awesome, in this mexican-food-loving family! It is heavily modified from a recipe in the GAPS cookbook, “Internal Bliss”. With a few tweaks, it would still be GAPS-friendly, which, for those not on GAPS just means that it’s extremely nourishing and good for you! I’ve slowly been perfecting it over the last year since we were on the GAPS Diet, and I think this is the final and best version. Do let me know if you make it, and if you enjoy it!
