    Light Chicken Tortilla Soup, This is my modified version of a tortilla soup recipe that I found My whole family loves this soup so I make it often , This was wonderful! used 4 grilled chicken thighs and homemade chicken stock used 6+ cups of stock My family loved it! Will definitely make this again Thanks!, Perfect flavor I have been looking for, but did not find in other recipes I followed the directions used a small jalapeno pepper, fresh zucchini, fresh corn & a can of pinto beans I added cooked chicken breast diced & at the end (this was not in the posting) wanted to thicken the soup, so I added 1 1/2 cup instant mashed potatoes It does not change the taste, just gives the soup more body
