chicken tortilla soup
(3 ratings)
On Saturday hubby and I went to a local place to eat called "On The Border" We loved the chicken tortilla soup they had. So last night at dinner I told the family I was going to make chicken and dumplings with the leftovers from the roast I made last night. He says, "I wish you could make that soup we had on Saturday!" Soooo...... this is my attempt to re-create it. Hubby says this is an exact duplicate! They also had some fantastic jalapenos stuffed with chicken and cheese!! Those were fabulous too, but thats for another day! lol
