"I received this recipe from a friend at work who got it from a lady in Texas. It is exceptionally good authentic tortilla soup. I use already cooked rotisserie chicken from the store to make it quicker to put together."

This was a great soup with a lot of flavor. Like the previous viewer, I added pinto beans and a small amount of corn. I served with corn bread on this side. Thank you for sharing. Will definately make again.

This had a good flavor, but a bit too hot for me. I'll definetly reduce the amount of tabasco next time. Thanks for the recipe!
