Chicken Tortilla Soup

I am a creature of many things (namely, really pale wax, inappropriate jokes and leftover margarita lime quarters), but a creature of habit I am not.  I don’t own a single movie to watch when I have the ____ feelings, or for whatever reason at all.  I buy different makeup every time, even though this and this are basically perfect.  And I rarely make dishes over and over again, the same way at least, because there are just too many other recipes I have bookmarked and dogeared for me to spaz over.

So this post is coming to you only because my dear manpanion politely requested some Tortilla Soup I Made That One Time.  I don’t mean to brag (useless phrase because that’s exactly what I’m doing and I’m sorry!), but it’s basically excellent.  Spicy (because that’s how I like anything and everything), tomatoey warm goodness.  Especially when topped with cool sour cream and crunchy, delicious green things.  Of course, this is infinitely customizable: you can skip the chicken and substitute a vegetarian broth for a hearty vegetarian meal.  Likewise, you can health-ify it by not frying the tortillas (sadface) and skipping all the creamy dairy things.
