Chicken Tortilla Soup with Lime image

The fresh lime and cilantro in this zesty treat remind me of warmer climates-a nice bonus on chilly days here in northern Michigan. I lightened up the original recipe by baking the tortilla strips rather than frying them. -Marianne Morgan, Traverse City, Michigan

  • Serve the soup with your favorite toppings: Tortilla soup is typically served with a variety of toppings, such as sour cream, avocado, cilantro, and lime wedges. Feel free to add your favorite toppings to your soup.
