Easy Chicken Tortilla Soup

We’re big soup fans in our home, and my SIL Cara recently sent me this Chicken Tortilla soup recipe. Its been a hit in our home, (and those I’ve taken dinner to) My favorite part is there are a lot of canned items so it’s a fast and easy meal to make! I also substitute the chicken with my canned chicken {tutorial here} which makes literally no cooking! 

I hope you love it as much as we do.
