Chicken Tortilla Soup

A quick, tasty dinner! Just throw it all in the pot and heat! We cooked two chicken breasts and diced them before putting them in the soup. You could also buy a rotisserie chicken and shred it for this. I went for the less expensive option.

Make this soup vegetarian by omitting the chicken...still tasty!
