CHICKEN TORTILLA CHOWDER

Chicken Tortilla Chowder image

As a student attending college full-time, I find my time in the kitchen is limited. This recipe helps me have a hot meal on the table when my husband gets home. He's a real meat-and-potatoes man, but he absolutely loves this thick, creamy chowder with tortilla strips that puff up like homemade noodles. -Jennifer Gouge Lubbock, Texas
