Chicken Tortilla Soup with Lime image

The fresh lime and cilantro in this zesty treat remind me of warmer climates-a nice bonus on chilly days here in northern Michigan. I lightened up the original recipe by baking the tortilla strips rather than frying them. -Marianne Morgan, Traverse City, Michigan
