Chicken Tortilla Soup

This recipe comes straight from one of my personal favorite food blogs, Favorite Family Recipes. We try to do dinner with my extended family at my grandparent's house, at least one Sunday a month. There is always a theme, the most recent, was Soup. Everyone brought some sort of yummy soup dish. This is what we took, and it was a hit. Totally delicious! I highly recommend it!
