Tortillaless Soup—The Corn is Gone!

Cooks' Note

All the zip of your favorite tortilla soup—but without the corn tortillas, which have a high-glycemic index. In lieu of the tortillas, crumble Finn Crisps, which are made from rye flour with sesame seeds, or your own favorite whole-grain cracker into the soup. For those who like things a little less spicy, cut down on the amount of pickled jalapeño you use (some brands pack quite a punch), and substitute regular canned tomatoes for the seasoned tomatoes.
