Jen's Chicken Tortilla Soup

All of my Cooking Club peep's in MOMS Club will recognize this recipe, since I made it for our inaugural meeting. My husband is a little under the weather this weekend, so I decided to make this dish for him (it is one of his favorites). Actually, I am just trying to score wife points so eventually I will earn something sparkly (like a La Cornue oven or a new set of All Clad Copper Core cookware...HINT...HINT).
This is an easy, foolproof recipe that is always well received. Usually we save it for cooler temperatures, but I am making an exception. My cousin/BFF Barb introduced a version of this recipe to me years ago, and I have tweaked it some since then to make it my own. This soup is definitely considered comfort food in our house.
