Chicken Tortilla Soup

Submitted by CarolAT

"This is a wonderful full flavored tortilla soup. The mixture of chipotle in adobo sauce and chili powder gives this soup a great rich flavor. This recipe is from the Food Network Kitchens."

A perfect soup for a cool autumn evening. I used rotisserie chicken breast meat and the soup was ready on the table is less than 30 minutes. It is well seasoned and something I am sure to make again.

This was awesome! We loved it. Will definately make again. The only change I made was I used dried cilantro instead of fresh. Thanks made for PAC Fall 07. Lisa
