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

I added some black beans and corn to the soup to make it even more hearty. It was a great addition.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from the recipe. The soup was still delicious.

I was skeptical about the lime, but it really made the soup. It added a nice tanginess that balanced out the richness of the chicken and cheese.
