Default fake tortilla soup

TORTILLA-LESS SOUP serves 1
-------------------------------
First, for dinner the night before, throw a beef roast in the crock pot with a jar of salsa verde for 8 hours, shred, and serve however you like it. Save any leftover beef and some of the juices.

The next day, put the following in a pot and simmer for 5-7 min:
leftover beef/salsa (I think I used about 3/4 cup)
chicken stock (again, about 3/4 cup)
shredded carrot (1/2 a large carrot)
frozen okra (about 1 cup)
fresh cilantro (to taste)

While it is simmering, slice up an avocado and layer half of the slices on the bottom of a bowl. Pour the hot soup on top of the avocado, garnish with a little more fresh cilantro, and serve! Save the rest of the avocado for a little guac or salad garnish or a pudding base.

If there are non-paleos about, cut a corn tortilla into strips, gently saute in a little olive oil til crispy, salt, and serve on top of the soup.
