Easy and Delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup !

Submitted by Chef Cook-Em-Up

"This recipe originally came from Pastor Tom Brown, but i edited some ingredients for the sake of simplicity. I made this soup for a dinner party and everyone loved it! In my opinion it rivals in quality to my favorite tortilla soup which is made at Casa Guiardos. This recipie makes a lot, but it stays good if stored properly. Dont worry, this recipe is more simple to make than it looks like at a glance. Enjoy"
