Number Of Ingredients 15

3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

This soup was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I think that's because I used a hotter pepper than the recipe called for. Otherwise, the soup was very flavorful and I enjoyed it.

This Jamaican tortilla soup was a hit with my family! The flavors were so rich and complex, and the soup was just the right amount of spicy. I especially loved the addition of the avocado and cilantro, which really brightened up the dish.
