Sweet Potato Tortilla Soup

I’ve come to think I can be quite a tortilla soup snob. I blame growing up up in Arizona, or the fact that (in my opinion) tortilla is the holy grail of soups. I’m a chunky soup kinda girl so the fresh veggies, avocado and crunchy strips of tortilla gets me every-time — it’s a texture thing.
