Tortilla soup sandwiches???

I had some leftover chicken and lots of tortillas the other day so I made tortilla soup. The loveliest part of tortilla soup is all of the yummy garnishes. Avocados, lime juice, cilantro, feta cheese? Yum, yum, yum, yum.

We ended up with one small bowl of soup left over. It’s too complicated to take to work for lunch so it sat in the fridge for a couple days until I got the brilliant idea of making tortilla soup paninis!

Bear with me here. I added more shredded chicken to the soup. I spread the chicken mixture on one piece of sourdough bread. I topped it with sliced avocado and cilantro. On the other slice I spread feta cheese and a slice of provolone. I threw the whole works into the Panini press and let the magic happen.

And happen it did. That was one tasty sandwich!
