As Rach says, this is such a simple dinner, you're going to love it! It’s a vegetarian—but very hearty—green tortilla soup. And if you're not a vegetarian and want to add the traditional chicken, just shred some rotisserie chicken and stir it in. The homemade tortilla strips add great crunch and texture.
