Tortilla Chicken Vegetable Soup
"This hearty soup is an anything-goes recipe! Try using carrots instead of red bell pepper. Like extra garlic, no problem! I love a lot of cilantro! Whatever your choice of veggies, it's wonderful and sure to please your family's taste buds! At our house I like to put a bottle of our favorite hot sauce on the table for those who like to spice up their tortilla soup! Garnish with Monterey Jack cheese and tortilla chips."
