This is one of my all time favorite soups to have simmering on the stove in the Winter.  Chicken Tortilla Soup has a distinctive aroma when it is cooking all day.  It is truly a simple soup to make.  You can either use chicken right out of the freezer and  toss it in a pot of water, boil it, then pull it apart.  This gives you some good non salty chicken stock.  You can also take chicken right out of the can.  I boil a lot of my chicken a head of time and dice it up and freeze it so I can pull together different dishes during the week quickly and easily.

Chicken Tortilla Soup has many variations.  Google Chicken Tortilla Soup and you are swimming in recipes.  I use a low salt chicken broth from Whole Foods to keep the sodium level down.  Today is a perfect soup day, it is snowing and practically a white out.  I start out by chopping my red onion and peppers and sauteing  them, I also throw in some dried onions to get the house smelling like mama is cooking up some Chicken Tortilla Soup.

 Aah the Chicken Tortilla Soup is ready to be served.  I simmer the soup for about an hour and it is ready to be eaten.  We like adding a big green salad with this and eat that all day.  You can top it with sour cream or a greek yogurt spiced with cumin and chili powder.
