CHICKEN TORTILLA SOUP
Caroline Rose Hunt, creator of Rosewood Hotels and The Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas, enjoyed this soup at the venerable Argyle Club in San Antonio and suggested it's adaption for the menu of The Mansion on Turtle Creek.This hearty soup, which is suitable on warm spring days as well as cold winter night, has been on the menu since The Mansion on Turtle Creek opened. When Tortilla Soup is ordered, it is brought to the table in a tureen for individual service by the waiter, who garnishes each bowl according to the customer's wishes. I printed this off the web site for The Mansion on Turtle Creek several years ago and it's been a favorite ever since!
