This recipe is light and delicious. I often make it with left over baked chicken. It can also be made with boiled chicken as described below. This is not a heavy handed tortilla soup. It is simple and yummy. Try adding hominy or avocado as well!

    This recipe is delicious! I'd probably add a few more veggies or some beans to it to make it more healthy, but it is delicious as is!
