Another Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

Yes, yet another tortilla soup recipe, but mine is a bit different from what I had seen posted. Could be wrong, but decided to post so I would it where I can find it! The original of this recipe had a jalapeno chopped and seeded and a fresh tomato chopped. I changed it to a can of Rotel which was easier for me. Also, I add fresh chopped cilantro to my mood - usually a lot of it - I love it! Feel free to top with favorite toppings! Prep time is approx.
