The book has this recipe more than once. Also here as Tortilla Soup in Recipe Box. Same dish, different piece of paper — kept separately on purpose, because each copy came into the house its own way.

Read this one with the card open. Something on it is illegible, missing or ambiguous. It is transcribed exactly as written — nothing has been guessed or filled in — and every uncertainty is marked below.

Summary

Handwritten ingredient list (no method given) for a canned-bean-and-tomato chicken tortilla soup.

Key contents

Ingredients (as listed, "Tortia Soup"): - 2 tall cans chicken soup - 2 cans diced tomatoes - 1 can Rotel tomatoes - 1 can each: pinto, black bean, hominy, kidney (beans) - 1 packet ranch dressing mix - 1 packet taco seasoning - 1 pound chicken

Method: Not written — the sheet stops at the ingredient list. No cooking instructions (combine/simmer/time) are given anywhere on the page.

This sheet is the first of two recipes on one page of notebook paper — the second, "No Bake Cookies," appears immediately below it and is filed separately as no-bake-cookies.pdf. Flagged as a combo source.

POSSIBLE DUPLICATE OF: tortilla-soup — an item with this exact name is already filed in Recipes. Physical description of THIS artifact for comparison: lined notebook/loose-leaf paper, blue ballpoint cursive, title written as "Tortia Soup" (missing the second "ll"), heavy brown/coffee-style stain covering roughly the center-to-lower-right third of the page (does not obscure the ingredient text itself). Whether this is the same card rescanned or a second, independently-written copy cannot be judged from this scan alone.

★ Name disambiguated 2026-08-19 — this is NOT a duplicate

A recipe named tortilla-soup was already filed. The two were compared and they are entirely different soups that happen to share a name:

tortilla-soup (already filed) this sheet
Base 6 cups chicken broth, made from scratch 2 tall cans chicken soup
Vegetables onions, carrots, garlic, bay leaf 2 cans diced tomatoes, 1 can Rotel
Beans none pinto, black, hominy, kidney
Seasoning ranch dressing mix + taco seasoning
Method sauté, add broth, 30 min none written

Filed under a distinguishing name so both survive. The already-filed card keeps its name and its published URL. The title on this sheet is written "Tortia Soup" (as written).
