Chicken Tortilla Soup

I made soup today! Using the chicken I roasted on Sunday, I quadrupled the following recipe. I had to… it doesn’t make much and I wanted to SHARE, because I love this so much. So….. I hope Mom & Dad enjoyed their soup I brought them tonight. And tomorrow I am taking 2 bowls to work with me. 1 for me and 1 for a co-worker who always wants to go OUT for lunch and drag me along. But, I’m determined to not go out to eat this month!!! lol
