A couple of nights ago I noticed a couple of leftover tortillas. Obviously I had to do SOMETHING with them, I couldn't just toss them out or let them go stale...Right?

The answer? Tortilla Soup! Well as I went through all of the recipes I could find, it seemed they all used tortilla chips which were placed in the individual soup bowl.

I finally found one where tortillas were fried is a small amount of oil as the first step before adding other ingredients. I made the soup as instructed but found the tortillas disintegrated during cooking.

This recipe is the one I tried but with a bunch of tweaking and...tortilla chips placed in the individual soup bowl. This turned out just the way I wanted with a good chicken base and a good tortilla flavor.
