Lisa's Turkey (or Chicken) Tortilla Soup
I recently orderd and enjoyed some chicken tortilla soup at La Fiesta in Mountain View.... it was the best ever. I scoured the net for a recipe that would come close. I think I created something pretty close to it by combining some concepts from various recipes including a recipe I have for tacos. Tried it with turkey since that is what I had left over after Thanksgiving .... can't wait to try it with traditional chicken
