Texas Thick & Spicy Tortilla Soup image

I came up with this after several attempts and still tweaking. Starting with a bland one I found in a cookbook and deleted and added until I got the taste and consistency I liked. Most of the ones I had tried were watery and bland. This is a hot soup. If you don't like hot and spicy, don't make it ,,, you won't like it. I'm from Texas where we like our women, chili and most everything else hot. To make it even hotter, add the whole can of Rotel and leave the JalapeƱo seeds in. This will generously serve 6 people. Add garnish if you must or just pour it up and enjoy with a cool glass of iced tea or man beverage of your choice. You can use generic brands for the ingredients but if you are health conscious, check the labels for fat and cholesterol content. The generics I have looked at are usually higher in both compared to name brands.

I'm not a huge fan of spicy food, but this soup is the perfect balance of spice and flavor. It's not too spicy, but it still has a nice kick.
