Chicken Tortilla Soup

While I am on a roll today I thought I would go ahead and post tonight's dinner recipe. It is cold here, my husband is no where to be found (ok well I mean I know where he is but he is not at home) and I have some Christmas music TV station on right now.

Wait, did I mention where this recipe came from? No? Ok well it is from the "Dragon Food" cookbook. What is Dragon Food? It is recipe's compiled by a club at Nate's old high school Carroll High School.  Now this is no Maryland high school folks, actually it is a Texas high school.  At this school they play football playoff games in the Dallas Cowboys Stadium with THOUSANDS in attendance.  Currently, there are 3 New Orleans Saints players from Nate's high school.  The school performs "never done before by a high school drama club" musicals like Phantom and The Drowsy Chaperone.  So I am thinking to myself...well if these kids are so darn good, they are probably bringing in some good recipes...so here it is!!
