One of my favorite things to eat in the City of Dallas is the tortilla soup from The Mansion at Turtle Creek. If you’re from Dallas, you know exactly what I am referring to… and if you ever make a trip to Dallas, be sure to make a brunch stop at The Mansion. It’s over the top fancy, but a Dallas staple nonetheless. Their delicious soup inspired this Creamy Tortilla-Less Soup.
Their tortilla soup is thick, creamy, and packed with flavor. They bring you a bowl of all the garnishes and gently pour the luscious soup right over the top. It’s just so darn good.
I knew I had to recreate a Whole30 version in my kitchen. It’s tortilla-less, but I swear it’s as close to the real deal as you can get! This Creamy Tortilla-Less Soup is one of my favorite recipes I have made in a while, so please go out there and make it. ENJOY!

December 4, 2017 at 9:26 pmCould you use normal cream instead of the coconut cream? Or would that ruin consistency. Thanks!
