chicken tortilla soup

My last day to have my oldest boy home before he has to go to school. I love him home. My oldest is my best friend. I am having a blast spending the whole day with my two boys. I told them last night that I would spend my whole day playing what they wanted. I love that they want me to play with them. I hate it when people post on facebook that they are watching a movie with the family....UMMM no you aren't! You are on facebook. I might sound like that but I have taken a quick break to eat lunch. We will be back playing after this post.

So, this chicken tortilla soup is one of the best. I made it on as one of my soups for the Christmas party I had. It was a hit. Picture and recipe is from allrecipes.com
