Chicken Tortilla Soup

It has been overcast and chilly in Dallas for the last 3 days. Now granted, my definition of chilly has changed since I moved to Dallas from Illinois. But we have been chilly down here. So soup was a perfect meal for a Sunday afternoon, watching the Cowboys. Though the Cowboys did when the game, their performance was disappointing. This soup on the other hand, not disappointing at all.
