I think my favorite room in our new house is the kitchen. There's an ISLAND. I've never had an island before! I'm loving it. Another thing I love is our gas stove. No more impossible to clean glass cooktop, uneven heating, and random shutting off! I'm in love, I'm in love! And I don't care who knows it!
On tonight's menu is our favorite soup.
Chicken Tortilla Soup. Soup sure warms the soul on these cold winter nights. I found this recipe many years ago on Allrecipes. The great thing about this recipe is that it's versatile, you can add whatever you want to it and adjust the heat to your liking.

It's amazingly delicious!
Chicken Tortilla Soup
6 T. vegetable oil (you can sub chicken broth for this)
8- 6 in. corn tortillas, coarsely chopped
6 cloves of garlic, minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1- 29oz can diced tomatoes
2 T. ground cumin
1 T. chili powder
6 cups chicken broth (1 and a half cartons)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground cayenne pepper
5 boneless chicken breasts, cooked and chopped (I like to use a rotisserie chicken, about 2 cups shredded.)
Heat oil in a large stockpot. Add tortillas, garlic, cilantro and onion. Saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Stir in tomatoes, bring to a boil. Add cumin, chili powder, bay leaves and chicken broth. Return to boil, reduce heat to medium and add salt and cayenne. Simmer for 30 minutes, remove bay leaves. Stir in chicken. Heat through and serve.
Top with sour cream, cheese, broken tortilla chips, and more cilantro if desired.
Enjoy!
