Chicken Tortilla Soup (Similar to Houston’s), I have adapted this recipe from another that was posted on Zaar by Eddie Shipman, Tortilla Soup II #4627 I am really doing this for my own reference since I had so many questions about ingredients and the directions The original recipe said that it was like Houston’s Tortilla Soup My parents, who are Houston’s regulars, said it was very close to the original ”, My youngest son gives this soup 10 stars, I’ve made it many times and the family loves it!
