Chicken Tortilla Soup Recipe

One of the things I do like about Winter time is the soups, I love cooking and finding new things for us to try. Most days and most of the time I am cooking for one {myself}, my son is a little picky and wont eat allot of the foods that I make. Hoping one day he will outgrow that and enjoy the dinners with me. This soup was amazing and as a added tip, if you like spicy soups add in a minced jalapeno {which I did} This one was crunchy with the home made friend chips on top and full of flavor and I just love avocados.

This one I found over here on lilluna's blog
