Tortilla Corn Soup image

I do not like chicken, and get tired of picking it out of chicken based soups. So I came up with this version of tortilla soup, which I love. It is hearty and you can use more or less of the ingredients, to taste. This is definitely easily adaptable. You can add zucchini, black beans, etc.
