A rich and flavorful soup combining tender beef, vibrant vegetables, and the comforting taste of tortillas.
Chop the carrot, celery, and onion into small pieces.
Uniformly chopped vegetables ensure even cooking and a balanced texture.
Heat some oil in a large pot over medium heat and sauté the vegetables until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pot.
Add the garlic powder, beef broth, diced tomatoes, and Rotel to the pot and bring to a boil.
Use a whisk to mix the ingredients thoroughly for a smooth base.
Stir in the shredded beef and chopped tortillas, then reduce the heat to a simmer.
The tortillas will dissolve and thicken the soup as it simmers.
Add the milk and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes.
Stir constantly to prevent the milk from curdling.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with shredded cheese and crushed tortilla chips.
Add a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for a burst of color and flavor.
