A brothy hearty, low-fat, Tex-Mex soup that is quick-to-fix and that seems to be enjoyed by both kids and adults. My family loves it with corn bread.

Notes

The browned torilla pieces is what makes this soup special. You could opt for tortilla chips, but they really don't compare to the lightly browned, yet still chewy torilla pieces.
