Wonderful lunch soup. I made this for our PTO Cinco de Mayo teacher appreciation lunch and it was devoured. Next time I will use chicken breasts that are still on the bone as I feel that you get a richer chicken flavor. With that thought I would simmer the chicken with the spices instead of browning it, just to get a more tender result with the chicken. (I am not sure if this will produce the same results, but I will give it a try.) The lime and tortillas were a great garnish and several teacher's commented about that. Thanks for posting a wonderful recipe. Reviewed for P.A.C Spring 2008.
