CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
A restaurant in my town had the best creamy chicken tortilla soup, but they closed up and I have not been able to find a great tortilla soup since. I decided to create my own based on recipes that I had tried in the past. My husband couldn't get enough of it, so I knew it was a hit. Optional toppings: sour cream, shredded Cheddar, and avocado.

This is a wonderful and full flavored soup that doesn't even hint that it happens to be a lite soup. A great tortilla soup for those who prefer chicken to beef. *A reviewer suggested adding some fresh, chopped cilantro, so I added 1/4 c. and it was delightful.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh chicken, vegetables, and herbs will give your soup the best flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much chicken or vegetables to the pot, the soup will be too thick and won't cook evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other spices to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lime juice or a dollop of sour cream for extra flavor.
- Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Tortilla chips, shredded cheese, avocado, and cilantro are all great options.
