Introduction
Delicious restaurant-style Tortille soup -- pretty low in calories. Maybe it's not the lowest in calories of all soups I have ever eaten, but it is so hearty that you can eat one bowl and be really full. I like to use a rotisserie chicken. I got this from Recipezaar, Eddie Shipman posted it. Delicious restaurant-style Tortille soup -- pretty low in calories.
