AUTHENTIC CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
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.

AUTHENTIC TORTILLA SOUP
I was looking here for a recipe for Tortilla Soup recently, and most of the ones I found were either a recreation of a chain restaurant in the midwest, or use Campbell's Soup as a base. I finally found one on another site, but had to modify it for ingredients on hand (sorry, no epazote in my kitchen). The result is pretty good. Give it a try!

- Return the pan to medium-high heat and add the puree from the blender. Cook, stirring constantly, until it reaches the consistency of tomato paste, about 10 minutes.
