LITE AND CREAMY CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
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. Thank you for your suggestions that made a good recipe great!

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.
