"I have made multiple different chicken tortilla soups, but this one came out so good I want to remember how I made it! I wasn't measuring things when I made this, so these are approximate."

1. Saute onion, peppers and garlic in olive oil until tender.

3. A cheese soup and mix it in well. If it is too thick, add a bit more chicken broth.
