Once upon a time, there was a person. This person made chicken tortilla soup and LOVED it! This person was you! Since the first time I created this recipe, it has been a huge hit with everyone who has ever tried it. I always make a huge batch, and the leftovers are eaten immediately. On top of it being so delightful and full of flavor, it is also very healthy! This recipe has just a little spice, so if you don’t have too much of a tolerance for spicy foods, you may choose to leave out the seeds of the jalapeño, but even for people that don’t tolerate much spice, you should be fine. If you love spicy as much as us, add extra cayenne pepper fors even more zing.
