Chicken "No Tortilla" Soup
Seriously, we love soup for lunch or dinner, no matter what time of the year it is. It could be hot outside but, as long as it's not hot inside, soup is an option.
This soup is pretty easy to make. We don't eat corn so, I didn't use tortillas or chips to top this soup. You could easily use Beanitos bean chips which would be awesome for this recipe! I just didn't have any at home when I made it.
