“Tortilla Soup, which is a film about a chef who is slowly losing his sense of taste, is one of my favourite food movies. Sunday dinners for his family were non-negotiable and tortilla soup was one of the dishes he shared, which inspired me to make this recipe. I also like to add shredded leftover chicken.” – Abigail Donnelly
